Jackie Robinson! What a class guy. He did a lot for his race- the human race.

[Lava1964]

Jackie is right. Don't copy anyone else's style. Bat the way you feel comfortable. Still, I'd recognize Jackie's swing anywhere.

@Ezema25 "yeah boss" 

[Ezema25]

@sonofman23 fucking dumbass

[rlcope45]

I see your point, and I understand it.However, Jackie had become very well acquainted with the " human race"

[WinconsinSportsNutRW]

@rlcope45 But the so called "human race" did nothing for him...until after he died.

[sonofman23]

Sounds like an uncle tom.

Jackie Robinson is one to be truly admired and respected by all.

@Lava1964 IN another ed sullivan show ben hogan gives ed a golf lesson he said if you keep your left arm straight while you take it back and follow through you cant go wrong

[Lava1964]

@spacepatrolman My playing days are long over, but when I played I saw a lot of young batters try to emulate the quirky swings of Willie Stargell, Joe Morgan and Bobby Tolan. It did them no good. Jackie had it right: All batters should try to find their comfort zones and swing the bat the way that feels the most natural to them.

@Lava1964 Elston howard used to hold his bat straight up thats good for him but maybe not for you another thing is grip you have to hold the bat as tight as possible to hit home runs work on your grip squeeze tennis balls
