Tigers batting stances through history: The best thing you'll see all day!
The Wayne Fontes Experience - A Detroit Lions Blog — Meet You Tube's Batting Stance Guy. His channel is nothing but batting stances. Seriously. Here's his take on Detroit Tigers past and present... He does damn well, I have to admit I giggled through the whole thing. Batting Stance Guy has it all down, from Placido Ploanco's flipping the bat back and forth to Sweet Lou Whitaker's flexing his back before stepping into the box. I have only one issue. Johnny B. Wockenfuss' stance was not nearly closed enough! Just another reason why the internet is a wonderful thing... ...

Batting Stance Guy does Grandy
The Grandy Report — If you've never checked out Batting Stance Guy on YouTube you have to. He either has an amazing photographic memory, no job, no girlfriend, and/or all of the above.

So what did ...
