July 11, 201412 yr Author .... Okay, work with me here: What team hit the most HR's in one season between their top 5 HR hitters....when the 5th guy had at least 20 bombs. Hints: they had 178 homers between the top 5 guys and the lowest total of that bunch was 23. More hints: it wasn't the 2000 Blue Jays, they are 2nd with 169 (Delgado with 41, Batista with 41, Fullmer with 32, Jose Cruz with 31, and Raul Mondesi with 24). Have fun. Dont have a year, but I'll guess one of the Braves teams from the 70's with Davey Johnson, Darrel Evans, Hank Aaron, Dusty Baker, and Mike Lum?
July 11, 201412 yr Was it one of the 1970's Dodgers teams? I know they had a team with 4 30 homer guys but I'm not sure how many their 5th player hit.

July 12, 201412 yr ...... Many teams have had 5 guys with 20+, looking for the team with the most bombs ever from those 5. We / you have narrowed it down to the mid 90's.
