We use to have to guess...

I would click my elbow like Joe Morgan
buckle my knees like Roberto Clemete
squat like Pete Rose
point the bat like Julio Franco
get real low like Bagwell.....





good times

I was a kid in the late 90's so I tried to imitate Griffey all the time. Could never get the timing down. My stance for real ended up more like a lefty bagwell

Bagwell was the staple for 90’s kids in Houston

Sheffield is a great pick.

Manny Ramirez with the tongue trying to produce the massive dip look was always my go to. Good times.

I would say a little more 'structured' than yesteryear


We use to only see highlights on the 10o'clock news, my dad was a student of the game and my coach, and would show and tell me about whats wrong with those guys stance.
