Oakland Athletics on their way to breaking team HR records

In 1996, Mark McGwire, Terry Steinbach and Geronimo Berroa led an Art Howe-managed Oakland Athletics team to an underwhelming 78-84 campaign.

The Green and Gold missed the postseason for the fourth consecutive season and were in the midst of an eight-year playoff drought (from 1992-200).

But, in the middle of the steroid era, that offense put together the greatest power campaign in franchise history.

That unit broke every major home run record: home runs in a season, game and month, and most players with 30 (three), 20 (five) and 10 (seven) bombs.
