Kalapse Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 11:50 AM) The Trib article on the statue talks about his "left leg kick". LOL. Could the writer have bothered to look at the statue, or any sort of film of Baines, at some point before writing the article? Or just realize that he's a left handed hitter, no film watching or time consuming statue inspections necessary, just a quick google search/query of a co-worker. It would be interesting to see, though I'm thinking it would be tough to hit with your back leg off the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Harold (and other hitters) did plant pretty heavy on the front leg and that back leg would sometimes drift a bit during the swing. But that was AFTER the leg kick (with his front, right leg). I don't think I've ever seen a hitter stride/kick backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'd love to see those '80s uniforms used as alternates more often. They looked really nice yesterday and brought back some great memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
