Yankees On Pace To Break HR Record

The Yankees are averaging 1.96 home runs per game at home and are on pace to set the Major League record.

The Rockies slugged 149 homers at Coors Field in 1996. The Yankees are on pace for 158 this season.

The power surge in a two-way street, though. New York pitching has surrendered 42 homers at Yankee Stadium, tops in baseball.
