And how about Mike Trout as a lefty? That’s REALLY weird.

I was so close to this Bryce Harper home run – emotionally, that is – that this one, I could do without.

And watching Albert Pujols terrorize us at Wrigley Field for years makes this stick out, too:

But Ichiro … as a righty. Just … NO. PLEASE. Not with his running swing. It looks all wrong!
