Mark McGwire’s Five-Step Approach To Hitting

— clubseatsports.com — If I had to guess, I think this is what McGwire’s Five-Step Approach To Hitting would probably look like: Rule #1: It’s all about the beard In order to become a great hitter, you need to have a perfectly manscaped, red goatee. If you don’t have red hair, die it. Can’t grow it? Glue on a fake one. (more) Mark McGwire’s Five-Step Approach To Hitting

McGwire: The pitcher might pick up on your strategy. Don't worry about it. He's more afraid of you than you are of him. McGwire: If he throws you something offspeed, like a curveball, ...
