I dont know if they were in the top 3, but the 1977 Dodgers had four guys with 30 or more homers (Cey, Garvey, Baker and Monday). I am pretty sure George Foster led that year or maybe Kingman, I think thats as close as it gets though.

Plus 77 was the south side hitman, so Zisk and Gamble had to be in the leaders also.

Good question.

I know the '61 yankees had the 1 and 2 guys. Marris and Mantle. Canseco and Mcguire might have been 1&2.

I don't know if anybody has finished 1,2,3. Maybe those bashers from the Rockies in the late 1990s.

The '27 Yankees did. If anyone else did, I have no idea.

1982 is the closet I can find.


1-Reggie Jackson 39 California Angels
1-Gorman Thomas 39 Milwaukee Brewers
2-Dave Winfield 37 New York Yankees
3-Ben Oglivie 34 Milwaukee Brewers
4-Cecil Cooper 32 Milwaukee Brewers

Ruth had 60
Gehrig had 48
Then Lazzeri had 18.......I think Ruth and Gehrig might have been the class of the league.

1995 came close in the NL:

Bichette-COL 40
Sosa-CHC 36
Walker-COL 36
Bonds-SFG 33
Castilla-COL 32

You were right about the Rockies for that year.

They didn't put the balls in a humidifier back then either.

Bichette was never on 'roids. Neither was anyone else on that list.

Maybe your right. At least not in 1995. 40 led the league that year. That's not crazy.

I am pretty sure about sosa and bonds, Bichette admitted to using them a few years back. Walker and Castilla, I think so.

But I don't think Sosa started that year. 1998 started the 60+ homer years for him. Maybe those other guys didn't start until later. Who knows? It wasn't insane numbers in 1995.

Bonds started in 1999. He got jelous over what Sosa and Mcguire were doing.

I wasnt pinpointing just that year.

40 HRs leading the league in Colorado isn't an insane number, and no one else cracked that.
