Let's crown the winner of the sweetest swing.

This is obviously purely subjective and I'm sure no one will agree on rankings so I just threw them out there.. 

 

1: Ken Griffey Jr. 

16: Alex Rodriquez

 

8: Pete Rose
9: Rod Carew

 

4:  Will Clark

13: Vlad Guerrero

 

5: Tony GWynn
12:  Derek Jeter

 

2: Ted Williams
15: Sammy Sosa

 

7: Hank Aaron
10: Ichiro
 

 

3: Barry Bonds
14: Wade Boggs

 



6: Ty Cobb
11: Mickey Mantle

Vlad shouldn’t be anywhere near a contest for pretty swings. Most effective? Maybe number 1, but not pretty lol.

Yoj should make this into a poll.

Snot would always put the matchup in the post, then a poll with multiple options to vote. People obviously then only vote 1x per match up.

doesn't look like you can add a poll after the fact in the edit feature.

Exactly. I was thinking "why post the other names?"

I remember Ty Cobb not having a very sweet swing.

Manny should be in here. One of the smoothest RH swings ever. Bonds was damn pure as well. But yeah, Griffey is the best.

Yeah, I watched Clark. Still think Griffey's was the best on this list.

totally forgot Rafaey. He's up there for sure. It was harder to make a list and remember everyone than I thought.

Will Clark would advance very deep into this bracket

Strawberry's a good call.

IMO, Mark Grace & Will Clark had identical swings, both sweet--but still not as sweet as Junior's

Cano is probably in my top-5.
