This is definitely the best offense I've seen in my lifetime, I was wondering how many of you think this could possibly be one of the best offenses of all time when it's all said and done?
They currently lead the Majors in Batting Average, Runs, Hits, Doubles, RBI, Total Bases, Slugging Percentage, and OPS. That's every offensive category, excluding steals, except Home Runs (4th) Triples (2nd) and On-base Percentage (2nd).
The teams that are typically referenced as having the best offenses of all time are the '27 Yankees, the '61 Yankees, and the '76 Reds:
The '27 Yankees hit .307, averaged 6.29 runs, and hit 158 home runs
The '61 Yankees hit .263, averaged 5.07 runs, and hit 240 home runs
The '76 Reds hit .280, averaged 5.29 runs, and hit 141 home runs
The 2007 Tigers are on pace to hit .295, average 6.18 runs, and hit 196 home runs
And remember, back in '27 teams weren't nearly as close talent-wise as they are today
