I thought for sure it was the strikeout record. Or the GIDP record.

You know why nobody cares about this record?

The Yankees offense wasn't historically great by any means.

It was good, of course ... second in runs behind the Red Sox ... but we've seen 850 runs plenty of times before.

I love HRs. They're great. They're the best thing a batter can do. But they're not the only thing.

The Yankees were 7th in on-base%, 27th in stolen bases, twice as many strikeouts as walks.

So if they hit 300 HRs, 250 of them are Mark Teixeira solo jobs, and they can't hit with RISP, and every batter strikes out 150 times ... who cares?
