Here is my current 2014 team:

The league leading team in HRs in this league has 173 HRs. My team has 43 HRs and is in last place in HRs but 1st place in the standings.

I believe Ty Cobb agreed with me that, HRs are overrated.

Here is my only other current team, again last in the league in HRs but best record.

Ty Cobb wasn't exactly all-knowing God either. From all accounts, he was far from intelligent...and not much of a home run hitter.

Yes, as I already acknowledged in two posts, I am well aware teams can win in pitchers parks without home runs. That's why they call it small ball.

Here, however are some of my teams who well-benefited from home run production. This is my first 2014 team, which finished fourth in home runs (very close to 2nd) and made the finals:

And here is my third 2014 team that finished first in home runs--by a 44 hr margin--and also made the finals:

So, obviously home runs can also be very helpful to a team's success.
