I copied Jay Bell at it seemed to help for a year.

Mo Vaughn signed a copy of his book for me called "Follow Your Dreams"

my real swing/stance was modeled after Jeter’s but playing wiggle ball with my bros my fave stance was Griffey Jr.

Craig Consell had a great imitatable stance

When Columbia and I would play wiffleball we would not only do the player stance, etc but also bat whatever handed they were. My favorite was Mike "The Hitman" Easler.

it wouldn’t count UNLESS you hit their handedness. Thankfully I was a switch hitter

in 7th grade my coach asked me to bat lefty only. It was a weird choice

Oh and would go Nomo while pitching (wiffleball. I only pitched in baseball once from 7th to 12th grade; I started a game in 10th grade. I walked 4 batters in a row and then got yanked. Retired with an ERA of infinity)

I had a season where I did the Mike Fetters breathe in and quick head turn to the plate thing.

It actually kinda worked?

Oh yeah craig counsell's stance was unreal.

I was a little too old to be playing backyard baseball when Youkilis played but that would have been a fun one

I can't even remember why I did it lol. I think I had a couple outings where I was a little wild and started doing it in the backyard as a joke until I realized I kept hitting the spot my dad gave me.

Showing my age a bit - real baseball, I’d hit the cleats with the bat once each a la Winfield and then settle in with a crouch a la Mattingly or Phil Plantier. I tried to make my small strike zone smaller but could also explode out of that stance and rip the ball.

Wiffleball, I would imitate Garry Matthews or Joe Morgan.

Damn, hard fought loss for holidaysburg. Now they need to win two in a row. They were winning until Naamans hit a 3 run shot in the sixth.
The Hollidaysburg League defeated Naamans Delaware 7-3 Friday to advance to the Little League World Series for the first time.

With the win, Hollidaysburg Little League claims the Mid-Atlantic Championship and will play Southwest Region Champion Pearland from Texas on Thursday, Aug. 18 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania at 7 p.m. The game will be played at Lamade Stadium and available on ESPN2.

Hollidaysburg becomes the first team to advance to the Little League World Series from Blair County. Additionally, Hollidaysburg crowns Pennsylvania with their sixth Mid-Atlantic Region Championship, tying them with New York. Hollidaysburg becomes the 35th team from Pennsylvania to advance to the Little League World Series.

K.

Didn't Braun say the same thing before ultimately backpeddling?
