@robneyer is it unbelievable that the Giants as a team have hit 22 home runs at home? That has to be close to a mlb record doesn't it?

Giants’ Home Power Outage Quite Believable
Okay, so that’s pretty unbelievable. But it’s not even close to the record. After the jump, one of my all-time favorite bits of trivia ...
In 1945, the Washington Senators hit only 27 home runs all season.
That’s not the all-time favorite.
Wanna guess how many of those home runs came at the Senators’ home ballpark, Griffith Stadium?
One.
But wait, there’s more.
That lone home homer was an inside-the-park job, hit by old Joe Kuhel in this game. All season long, the Senators didn’t hit a single ball over the fence.
You could look it up.
