In 1997, this team would finish third in the NL West but would lead the NL in six of the main offensive categories (batting average, hits, home runs, on base percentage, runs, and slugging average). Name this 1997 heavy hitting team.

It's the Rockies, although they really weren't any heavier hitting than most teams.
The only reason they did so well offensively is the advantage of playing half their games in the thin air. They hit .321 as a team at home with a .523 slugging percentage, but only .253 and an anemic .432 on the road. They were an okay-hitting team, but only had exceptional numbers because of where they played.
