2. 1 : The Ice Balls, September 22, 1996. They even added Will Clark and Carlos Baerga to the mix, and had 53 more at bats and still only hit one home run. And that was by the immortal Pat Meares! And despite these 2 historically poor weeks, they still finished ahead of 2 other teams in home runs for the year.
   1 : The Travisties, May 10, 1998. Despite having players like Mo Vaughn, Harold Baines and Travis Fryman racking up 214 at bats, only Matt Lawton went downtown.
