Sorry JT & KM....but
By: Bear
Say KM,
Never, ever makes contact? I would make time for this 'opportunity' if the child has (in Bear's terms), a $Hit House or Castle swing. (My analogy is the kid throws 99 mph, is out of control- don't we all dream of 'finding' and fixing three of those kids.') Lot's of players have 'ugly' strokes. On a few players have that 'raw' swing 'that's out of control.' Jack Clark was one, I recall. David Winfield is another. Calvin Pickering (O's Minors League - 1b). 'Hack' Wilson. 'Load and Launch, baby'. 'Ever meet a pitch, you didn't like?' Sure, we all know the sweetness of a John Olereud, and KG Jr. Hitting coaches everywhere smile when they say 'boring'. But, give 'em a true Masher. And as Tony LaRussa says, the three-run HR guy in the late innings, beats the Dodgers everytime ! cheers Bear ps. How did I 'see' all this mess? Dreaming, or wishing, I guess.
