I get it: There have been so many home runs this year, it’s sometimes hard to get excited about it. The last time, around 1998 or so, we fell hard for all of it and wound up burned because we wouldn’t believe our own lyin’ eyes.

Still, home runs are irresistible. Two teams this week saw their home run records fall: the Mets, thanks to Pete Alonso, and the Royals, when Jorge Soler hit No. 39 (they were the last team to be without a 40-homer player until Soler took care of that Wednesday).

When you look at the list of teams and their single-season home run leaders … well, it’s a fun tour, and there may be a few other teams that fall before the end of the year. Take a seat shotgun to me, and let’s take a look (all 2019 totals entering Friday’s games):

Angels: Troy Glaus (47, 2000), though Mike Trout, just two shy entering Friday, seems certain to claim another Angels milestone awfully soon.

Astros: Jeff Bagwell (47, 2000), and I know you’re thinking: Hey! What a coincidence so many records were set in 1999 and 2000 and 2001 and …

Athletics: Jimmy Foxx (58, 1932) has held the record through three (and soon four) cities and 87 years. Good luck to whoever wants to break this one.

Blue Jays: Jose Bautista (54, 2010), who you have to think is merely a placeholder before Vladimir Guerrero Jr. decides it’s time.

Braves: Andruw Jones (51, 2005), and surely this one will belong to Ronald Acuna Jr. sometime before he turns 30.

Brewers: Prince Fielder (50, 2007), though Christian Yelich (43) is almost sure to have a crack or two at this as long as he plays in Milwaukee.

Cardinals: Mark McGwire (70, 1998), my kingdom for a new name here.

Cubs: Sammy Sosa (66, 1998). Ditto.

Diamondbacks: Luis Gonzalez (57, 2001), and, yes, that really happened.

Dodgers: Shawn Green (49, 2001), and here comes Clay Bellinger (44) roaring in on the outside.

Giants: Barry Bonds (73, 2001), and, well: *

Indians: Jim Thome (52, 2002) may ultimately be one of the longest-tenured of these current names.

Mariners: Ken Griffey Jr. (56, 1997/’98). This one may well keep forever.

Marlins: Giancarlo Stanton (59, 2017). Next.

Mets: Pete Alonso (45 entering Friday, 2019), a rookie not just breaking the old team mark of 41, but smashing it, as home run hitters do.

Nationals: Alfonso Soriano (46, 2006). Your dime, your dance floor, Juan Soto.

Orioles: Chris Davis (53, 2013), and you have to think both that Camden Yards could make this quest possible for some future O, though he might not yet be born.

Padres: Greg Vaughn (50, 1998), and you totally forgot he hit 50 back in the day didn’t you?

Phillies: Ryan Howard (58, 2006). Isn’t this why they pay Bryce Harper?

Pirates: Ralph Kiner (54, 1949). You have it in you some year, Josh Bell?

Rays: Carlos Pena (46, 2007), and this might be safe because as soon as a player is good enough to hit 47, he’ll be on the Dodgers, Yankees or Red Sox.

Rangers: Alex Rodriguez (57, 2002) may have to sweat out Joey Gallo the next few years.

Rockies: Todd Helton (49, 2001)/Larry Walker (49, ’97), but in that ballpark, that number will topple at some point.

Red Sox: David Ortiz (54, 2006). You would think someone will take a run at Big Papi as long as the Sox continue to call Fenway home.

Reds: George Foster (52, 1977) but you have to figure someone playing in that bandbox will break it — maybe Aristides Aquino as soon as next year.

Royals: Jorge Soler (40, 2019), and more amazing than him breaking Mike Moustakas’ record is how long Steve Balboni’s modest record of 36 lasted (1985-2017).

Tigers: Hank Greenberg (58, 1938) has held the team record for 81 years. He may well keep it another 81.

Twins: Harmon Killebrew (49, 1964/’69), and though the Twins have already claimed the team record, it seems like the Killer can rest easy another year.

White Sox: Albert Belle (45, 1998) is safe for the foreseeable future.

Yankees: Roger Maris (61, 1961). How’d you like to be Aaron Judge, at 52 … tied for eighth!

Vac’s Whacks

Hopefully, you listen regularly to our pal Jay Horwitz’s Mets alumni podcast. Make sure you catch this week’s with R.A. Dickey talking about his longtime friendship/rivalry with Mickey Callaway. This remains one of the most unlikely but delightful must-listens in all of podcastland.

I’m not sure the last time a team needed to start a season 1-0 as badly as the New York Jets do this afternoon. Whatever happens from here will happen, but this is a big day for the kids wearing the green.

Well worth your looking into: ex-Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins, longtime CBS voice Verne Lundquist and longtime UConn women’s assistant basketball coach Chris Dailey will be honored at the Joe Lapchick Character Award luncheon Sept. 20, named for the godfather of New York basketball and held at the Yale Club, starting at noon. For tickets: http://www.characteraward.com

Don’t forget the fun night we have planned with Gary Apple, Ron Swoboda, Ed Kranepool and Art Shamsky and yours truly at the Paley Center on Thursday, Sept. 19, at 6:30 (tickets: http://www.paley-center.org/2019-mets). You can also catch the Amazin’ boys at the Iridium Club in Manhattan on Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. and at Westbury Music Fair on Oct. 16 at 8 p.m. — 50 years to the day from when they finished off their miracle.

Whack Back at Vac

Ron Goydic: Mike, is it true that Jacoby Ellsbury is in a witness protection program?

Vac: Much like Henry Hill, he gets to live the rest of his life like a schnook.

Jake Stevens: You nailed it perfectly. I still want Davey Johnson to bring in Randy Myers to pitch to Mike Scioscia in the ninth inning of Game 4 of the 1988 NLCS. I still want the puck not to hop over Bob Brooke’s stick in overtime of Game 5 against the Islanders in 1984. And I still want the officials to flag Michigan State for interfering with Desmond Howard on Michigan’s 2-point attempt to win when we were No. 1 in the country in 1990.

The stories you’ve all shared of your sporting scars have convinced me more than ever just what a strange, powerful narcotic sports truly are.

@ChefChrisBilyk: Also from “Rounders”: “If you can’t spot the sucker in your first 30 minutes at table, You are the sucker!” Mets fans are the suckers.

@MikeVacc: How about a rebuttal quote from Michael Corleone? “Just when I thought I was out …”

Bobby Smith: Lanny McDonald.” “Lanny McDonald.” “Lanny McDonald.” “Lanny McDonald.” “Lanny McDonald.” “Lanny McDonald.” “Lanny McDonald.” “Lanny McDonald.” “Lanny McDonald.” “Lanny McDonald.” “Lanny McDonald.” “Lanny McDonald. …” Please forward this to any 50-plus Islanders fans you know. Thank you so much! With no comments allowed in newspapers anymore, it’s darn near impossible to tweak these people anymore! They need to be reminded for life!

Vac: What’s better than sports, you know? Anything? Anything at all?
