Vlad had a nasty '02, with 39 HRs and 40 SBs.

Man, I feel like these guys were really special athletes.

Maybe I am a biased Indians’ fan, but did Albert Belle have the prettiest RH swing in about forever?

I mean most “pretty” swings are LH like Ken Griffey Jr. 

But, for a RH batter Belle’s slow backward hand movement at the beginning to load up and time then the follow through, was a thing of beauty.

I like Edgar’s

Belles is hard to judge because his stance was so fucked up. 

Manny Ramirez has the prettiest RH swing I've seen in my lifetime. Edgar, Miggy and Juan-Gone fighting for 2nd.

Yep.  I saw a few who did the 30+ HR and 40+ SB thing.  It was weird seeing Bags, of all people, being the only HOF player to do the reverse.  I don't exactly think of him as a base-stealer.

About June of 2008 I thought Grady was gonna hit 40/40.

And I thought Jose was going 40/40/40 with like a month left of 2018. His slump killed any chance for the SB unfortunately.

This eliminates 98% of the HOFers I know. And Joe D and Ripken are 2 of the small 2% I know with MLB brothers lol.
