This year's Royals would be better if they led the league in doubles and triples, instead of just being average. But I still think in this environment you're severely handicapping yourself with so few homers. The league average for HRs in 1976 was only 94. SEVEN teams hit fewer than 100 homers.
That '76 team was also very fast, efficient team that could get around the base paths (finished 2nd in the AL in SB's). They also knew how to hit in key situations, as they led the AL in Sac Flies.
