    I miss weird batting stances, it's one of the things that actually got me into baseball. Craig Counsell turning his body into a stick and holding the bat up as high as he possibly can will always be the best. Alfonso Soriano is one of my all-time favorite ones.

    (1:05)That kid’s batting sequence had a whole anime transformation scene and it wasn’t even his last form.

    Growing up in Milwaukee, we always imitated Craig Counsell’s stance and our coach always told us to stop “dickin’ around”

    As a kid growing up in the 90’s, watching Andres Galarraga’s stance was a blast. Unique stance and power. He deserves more recognition

    Who just loves baseball doesn’t exist

    Gary Sheffield is by far my favorite batting stance. It's like a metronome. But it's a functional distraction to the pitcher as well. I can see how it may act like a hypnotic effect.

    I ALWAYS thought Bagwell's stance was so weird when my parents took me to a game! I feel validated over something I first voiced to my folks 20 something years ago.

    Remember everyone: it’s only stupid if it doesn’t work

    Bagwell’s stance always got my attention when I first started to watch baseball as a kid. Sadly that was during the 2004 and 2005 season. When he retired shortly afterwards. I really wish he got a ring.

    Wish baseball actually existed 😢
  • I liked Gary Sheffield's metronome stance and I'm glad his son does it, too. Also, Joe Morgan with those armpit farts.

    As a kid, watching Jim Thome on the 03-05 Phillies was a treat. It wasn’t really a weird stance, but he held his bat real high like a broadsword aloft. And he absolutely put balls in the stratosphere this way.
