The Top 5 Worst Home Run Swings In Baseball:
About a week ago, I brought you my "Top 5 Best Home Run Swings." Well. now I look at the other side of the list: The Worst.
"Worst" means overall worst-looking stroke when hitting a ball for a home run.
Here's my list:
Starting with Number 5: Sammy Sosa.
For the simple reason that I hate the Cubs and I am sick of this ballerina, mainly because I am a Astros fan, but as previously said, he thinks he is a ballerina. Stick to just playing baseball Sammy!
Number 4: Dontrelle Willis.
Doesn�t hit that many, but for a pitcher he hits a lot of homers. Granted that really the only pitcher that can properly hit a home run is Mike Hampton. His �lankiness� really doesn�t do him any favours either.
Number 3: Jim Thome.
Mostly the little leg movement he has, also mixed with a below average swing. For some reason I always think they are one day going to introduce him as Grand Dragon Jim Thome (no offence to him).
Number 2: Gary Sheffield.
Stop the bat wiggling!
Number 1: Vladimir Guerrero.
Firstly, let me say that I think that Vlad has the most power swing out of an player today and he is very good at hitting homers. He could hit a blocked ball in the dirt for a home run, but his swing is just down right ugly.
