Nomar Garciaparra's OCD at bat routine.

Brady Anderson's sideburns bothered me.

Jose Oquendo's open batting stance.

What are some of yours?

Not a particular player, but all the players who have to take 30 seconds outside the box to prepare themselves for one swing really torch my shorts.

Good one.

What about Mariano Duncan and his multiple gold chains?

Do you mean an over exaggerated lift?

Cause most every batter has some form of a leg lift as the pitch arrives.

Joe Morgan pumping his elbow at the plate.
Matt Williams literally biting his jersey to force himself to stay in.
Umpires consistently giving Tom Glavine a full foot off the outer edge.
Ichiro slap hitting like a little girl.
Ichiro going through an entire set of stretching exercises between literally every pitch while playing the outfield (you would have had to attend a game to see this).

So everyone?

You're supposed to. It's a baseball swing not a golf swing.

I've been a Red Sox fan my whole life because my family always rooted for the Yankees, but no matter who he played for, Kevin Youkilis always bothered the crap out of me.
