is it not the prettiest swing of all time? For the power that it included, with the seeming ease, I can't think of anything else that competes with it.

Watching the 98 HR derby on mlb channel right now and it reminded me.

Griffey made hitting so easy with that swing. Nothing comes even close to it

Will Clark had an almost perfect swing as well.

I think it is.

I wonder how many homers he would have had he not had all those injuries.

Griffey's is the prettiest ive ever seen. BMac & J. Heyward have pretty nice ones but not close to Griffey's.

They had an article about this in the Seattle Times and it was in the 800s. He would have crushed the all-time HR record.

Heyward has a great swing....'they' compare it to Griffey's from time to time. By default Griffey's is better.

I say the best.

Thunder and Lightening.

You probably know that, but Will's first swing in the minors was a HR agsinst Fernando Valenzeula. He also homered to center field in his first MLB at bat against Nolan Ryan.
I remember in high school he batted like .700 or close to it as a senior.

he is also a direct descendant of Clark of Lewis and Clark
