re: Do the kids still imitate MLB players batting stances?

This thread reminds me of Batting Stance Guy on youtube. I remember being amazed the first time I saw this dude, and even though I didn't watch a lot of baseball growing up, I recognized most of the swings.

80s batting stances.

Red Sox, past and present.

I used to love his videos.

The neighbors and I used to "draft" players and make lineups and we had to mock the stance of whoever was up in the order. I would switch hit to match the players as well

Dude We did this at recess everyday on the playground.

If you were batting the pitcher could yell a name and you'd have to get in that stance. So It was fun going old old school to see if you could get it down.

mark mcgwire or bust sonnnnn.

All the kids did the Joe Morgan arm pump when I was young.

No.

Everyone went Joe Emanski:

Robot kids. Robot ballplayers.
