Throughout the 2019 season, the Minnesota Twins have been known for their muscle. As the only team with eight players with 20 or more home runs in a single season, the Twins were the first time in MLB history to break the 268 home run mark set by the New York Yankees last season and the first to reach 300 home runs in a season earlier this week.
Despite all the milestones, the Twins still had to fend off the Yankees to claim the single-season home run crown. With both teams swinging for the fences, the Twins needed a big effort in their regular-season finale and got it, hitting three home runs against the Kansas City Royals to bring their final total to 307, just one more than the Yankees total of 306.
