If bat speed is your thing, the conversation starts and stops with Bo Jackson.

To be fair to me...

This was a conversation about people I saw in person. I never saw Bo play in person so I can't make the comparison based on my own eye (without the aid of tv that tends to skew things too often). For me, the fastest bat I ever saw in person was Conseco and there wasn't a close second.

FWIW, when I see the MLB logo, I see a righty. I have to focus for a second to see him as a lefty.

I have never seen that logo as a left handed hitter in my life until you said this!!!

Wow!

Always thought bonds had a pretty home run swing. What about successful hitters with ugly swings. First two that popped into my head were Bagwell and Sosa

I loved watching Bagwell swing. I probably watched it too much as a kid skewing how I tried to swing.

As everyone's said, everything about Jr.'s swing was pretty.

I also liked Juan Gonzales' swing but in retrospect, I think it was another ugly one.
