In which season did Babe Ruth out-homer the most teams?
A. 1919
B. 1920

Answer: B. His 54 homers in 1920 were more than the home run total of 14 other teams that year- out of only 16 major league teams, total. He eclipsed each of the other seven American League teams, and only the Phillies' 64 in the National League surpassed Ruth.
His 154-game record of 60 homers in 1927 surpassed 12 American League and National League teams.
