The 1998 season
All of 1998’s players over a full 162-game schedule, one night at a time. Long enough for a real home run race to build.
The summer of the home run chase: Mark McGwire hit 70 and Sammy Sosa 66, both passing Roger Maris’ 61. Expansion added two clubs that year, and offense was high across both leagues.
