The Yankees’ Home Run History
The New York Yankees are one of baseball’s most iconic teams. They’ve been around for over a century and have won 27 World Series titles. The Yankees are also known for their long history of sluggers, hitters who can knock the ball out of the park.
Let’s take a look at the Yankees’ home run history. We’ll see how many home runs they’ve hit in each season, who their biggest home run hitters have been, and what kind of impact home runs have had on their success.
The Yankees have hit a lot of home runs over the years. In fact, they’ve led MLB in home runs 26 times, more than any other team. They hit a total of 10,065 homers from 1903-2019, an average of 160 per season. That’s almost double the second-place team, the Boston Red Sox, who have hit 5,769 homers in that time period.
Not surprisingly, some of the greatest players in baseball history have played for the Yankees. Babe Ruth is widely considered to be the best hitter ever, and he played for the Yankees from 1920-1934. He holds the record for most home runs in a season with 60 in 1927, and he hit 714 homers over his career. Lou Gehrig is another Yankee legend; he played for 17 seasons (1923-1939) and finished his career with 493 homers. Other great Yankee hitters include Mickey Mantle (536 homers), Yogi Berra (358 homers), and Alex Rodriguez (654 homers).
While home run hitting has been a big part of the Yankees’ success, it’s only part of the story. The team has also been successful because of its pitching staffs; some of the best pitchers in baseball history have suited up for the Yankees. Among them are Whitey Ford (236 wins), Lefty Gomez (189 wins), Red Ruffing (231 wins), Ron Guidry (170 wins), Andy Pettitte (256 wins), and Mariano Rivera (652 saves). These pitchers helped lead the team to victory even when the offense wasn’t hitting its stride.
In short, while home runs are certainly a big part of the Yankee legacy, they’re not everything. The team has been successful because of its great players on both offense and defense.
