Around SBN: Tobias Harris signs with Tennessee

So there is this guy on youtube who has been making videos of batting stances. I suggested to him to do the Royals. He said he'll do around 15 players & starting around 1980. So do you all have any ideas of players you'd like to see him do?

Jat Buhner was fun to emulate, too

Just face the pitcher with both feet.

Buddy Biancalca had a crazy stance and I always likes how Seitzer used to pull the shoulders on his jersey foward before every pitch.

Seitzer!

Yea, I used to emulate him too. And of course George Brett, although from the right side.

Danny Tartabull was kinda fun, he held the bat way up high. Dwight Evans had some weird stances through the years. I always loved the Mickey Tettleton “hold the bat real limp until its almost hitting the ground.”

And who hasn’t tried the Tony Batista?

I can absolutely

smoke a wiffle ball hitting like Tony Batista. Without the low OBP issues, if you can believe it.

I Still Stand

Like Dick McAuliffe when batting left in slow pitch softball.

He practically faced the pitcher.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
