I knew it was gross. But I miss the Kingdome. Those 90s teams owned that place and the ball carried like crazy in there. No one owned that place like Jr. Just lightning fast batspeed, perfectly uppercutted, such a beautiful swing.

I actually recorded this version on VHS (where the SportsCenter anchor referred to me - I think it was the 2am show!) , but we accidentally taped over it the very next day. And now I find it here, all these years later, and incredibly it''s the specific one I thought I'd never see again. Thank you @Detlef!

Hey this is Bob in Connecticut and Junior is the best I ever saw and I am the biggest Yankee fan I have been a ticket holder for 30 years partial. And he did it without getting juiced. It’s hard to believe his big rookie card 1989 upper deck PSA 10 is only worth $2000. That is a disgrace it should be worth a small fortune😊😊😊

No one can understand this Baseball Home Run Hitter legend in Seattle Mariner History. Only history in time will tell. A total of more than 500 Home Runs. WOW!!!!!!!!!!! at least 800 Home Runs. People cannot be jealous of him!!!!!!!! He controls himself. Legend for his team!!!!!!!!!! Can no one top his home run hitter history of Home Runs! He will be MISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOME RUN PLAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can Anyone? How about other countries like India or Canada or Europe or Africa opening? Many pitchers try to strike him out!!!!!!!!!!! Wow. They couldn't Give him millions of dollars. I may be Non-American but I surely love his Home Run History. i used to play little league and major little league baseball. Everybody wanted his baseball!

He has an exaggerated hip and shoulder rotation. It creates bat lag and, speeds of the bat head through the hitting zone.

His bent back/left arm and straight front/right arm, (arm bar for those modern swing gurus who think it's a bad thing), is how body mass/power is transferred to the barrel. It's also how he makes it look almost effortless.
