& win with them??
or they all done because of pitchers like Joss
& all him dead ball buddys?

I see a few, but none are successful that I see.

Had one just finished 2 weeks ago, hit 198 homers in Minute Maid Park, won my division with an 82 - 80 record.  I was quickly shown the door in the playoffs.

I do...

My 6 hr teams (4 coors, 2 safeco) had 84-87-88-92-94 wins (one incomplete 84-62), 2 PO (+maybe another one), 1 WSC and 1WS currently trailing 1-3 vs ligapelota.

In fact I always had more success with them than non-hr.... go figure...

I just finished a HR team at Coors that went 85-77.  I have three HR teams going now, although they are more hitter's/OBP teams than pure HR teams --Verisimilitude is 33-21 at AFC, Big Fly is 12-9 at Coors and Trajectory is 23-22 at AFC.

I find it very hard to push a HR team over 90 wins or to get it to do well in the playoffs (if it even makes the playoffs).  The only HR teams with which I have had success recently is when I load them up with three or four Ruths (usually `29, `32 and `33 and maybe `17 pitching).  One of those won 99 in an OL and went to the WS a few months ago. 

It can be done, but you need guys whose HR numbers normalize very very well.  Used to be much easier to compete with a power-based team, but the sim is very pitching-dominant right now.

yes I think maybe they can do ok in the season but when playoff they always no hit for power with everyone pitching the deadball guys at them but always liked 1922 Ruth & I think 1915 Gavvy & 1913 they would hit me some good HR
Well I make one see how it goes

How dedicated to HRs does a HR team need be?  I agree that deadball pitchers and "big" stadiums make HRs a less than optimal strategy.

Thats a good question. There is no such thing as a pure hr hitting team. I have ran a couple of high #2b/100 high #hr/100 teams in parks like kingdome, and they did pretty well in the regular season, with one team going into the WS. But that was a while ago.

This is probably the least valuable post in this thread, but I just thought it was funny.  I'm not big on HR teams, but for grins I created a spring team of all 30+ HR guys and put them in the new Yankee Stadium.  First game - you guessed it - 11 singles.

Speaking of HR teams, I recall a few months back in an OL, I guy had an entire lineup of Dave Kingmans in the Kingdome. lol
