    A few years back I covered this but upon entering a new decade 2010-2019 I thought it was time for an update. However this time I'll only go back as far as the 60s.


    1960-1969 = 30 or more HRs (119), 40 or more (34), 50 or more (3)
    1970-1979 = 30 or more HRs (102), 40 or more (20), 50 or more (1)
    1980-1989 = 30 or more HRs (117), 40 or more (13), 50 or more (0)
    1990-1999 = 30 or more HRs (239), 40 or more (72), 50 or more (12)
    2000-2009 = 30 or more HRs (328), 40 or more (87), 50 or more (12)
    2010-2013 = 30 or more HRs (83), 40 or more (12), 50 or more (2)

    Last season only 14 players hit 30 or more HRs. The lowest total since the strike shortened season of 1994. At the current rate (4 years into this decade)......

    2010-2019 = 30 or more HRs Approx (200), 40 or more (27) 50+ (5)

    Chicks DUG the long ball.

    yeah, the lack of roids is having an affect on lack of power...

    At least until someone finds something that's not detectable.

    I was just wondering a couple of things... where/how did you compile this data? I'm also curious as to how the 90's and 2000's break down either as a set of 5 years or even as a set of 2 or 3 years... to see when it officially began to spike, ya know?

    Steve ask & you shall receive................

    40 or more HRs through the years
    -------------------------------------------------

    1980 (3), 1981 (0), 1982 (0), 1983 (1), 1984 (1), 1985 (1), 1986 (1), 1987 (4), 1988 (1) 1989 (1)
    1990 (2), 1991 (2), 1992 (2), 1993 (5), 1994 (2), 1995 (4), And than it begins 1996 (17), 1997 (12), 1998 (13) 1999 (13)
    2000 (16), 2001 (12), 2002 (8), 2003 (10), 2004 (9), 2005 (9), 2006 (11) Than the drop off.......
    2007 (5), 2008 (2), 2009 (5), 2010 (2), 2011 (2), 2012 (6), 2013 (2)

    So I'd say 1996 through 2006.

    wouldnt you also need to factor in the expansion of Colorado and Florida into the equation? Not just for the home runs at Coors field but the overall watered down pitching caused by another 24+ arms in the majors

    That may have made a dent, but I'm sure jumping from 4 players with 40 or more in 95 to 17 in 96 had a lot more to do then just adding 2 expansion teams a few years earlier.
