	Amazing quiz. Really brilliant idea.

	TheBiscuit:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 05:57 GMT	-1 points
	Good idea, but #6 is really hard to make out.

	brewdude15:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 06:46 GMT	-1 points
	#10 is the old stance...he's since changed it.

	Sporctastic:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 12:39 GMT	1 point
	Thank you very much BREWCREW. BISCUIT: do you mean the player or the actual number? I'll see what I can do about moving the number to make it more visible. BREWDUDE: Even so, most people are getting it as is and I still think the old batting stance fits the quiz description. Thanks for the suggestions though.

	make it clear that not all these players are still active. otherwise, great quiz.

	nwaldrip:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 16:13 GMT	3 points
	yes, really good quiz. I agree that the player for #6 was tough to make out. But I eventually got it. couldn't hurt to have contrasting background. I only missed #7. Weird angle, tough player to guess. But once I saw the answer, I could see how it was him. Great quiz!

	excellent job. reminds me of when we were kids and used to mimic players batting stances playing ball in the playgrounds. i was always gary carter.

	brewcrew09:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 16:34 GMT	6 points
	#10 has indeed changed his stance, but the image is the stance with which he's most recognizable. Since that stance is quite well-known for how different it is, I think it certainly belongs on this quiz.

	yankeessuck8991:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 16:35 GMT	1 point
	good idea, but a lot of these should have better angles. the picture from counsell's angle is the best: shows the full stance and doesn't have any logos in the background. logos are an easy giveaway for some of these.

	Sporctastic:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 16:37 GMT	1 point
	That's what inspired me smoggy. I remember during baseball practices we always used to mimic batting stances. I'm a bit young to remember Gary Carter well but doing the Shef's bat waggle and going through Ichiro's whole routine during BP was a blast.

	gobosox00:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 16:43 GMT	1 point
	I'm a Sox fan and the only one I missed was #7, poor showing on my part, definitely hard to pick him out there. Fantastic quiz though!

	jaketaylor:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 17:17 GMT	-2 points
	Agreed, great idea, but maybe make it so you can't just throw famous players out there. Change it so that you have to give a specific answer for each picture. I only got 7 'cause I guessed, you can't really see it (or 11).

	tk926:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 17:19 GMT	3 points
	I like this quiz, though #7 and #11 were both cut off for me (I'm not sure if this is a common problem or not).

	Brian:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 17:29 GMT	0 points
	I was shocked to see #10 is still playing. I thought you had that wrong.

	Swings12:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 17:51 GMT	4 points
	Need more Mickey Tettleton

	montecarlo:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 17:56 GMT	2 points
	hah, and willie mcgee. brother and i would fall over laughing whenever we would imitate that work of art.

	Spacecow:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 17:57 GMT	1 point
	Craig Counsell: Best batting stance in all of recorded history? I say YES.

	McBeergio:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 17:59 GMT	1 point
	sweet quiz - maybe better angle at youkilis. also mickey tettleton would be a cool addition - craziest stance ever.

	dtro:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 18:06 GMT	1 point
	I don't know why Ichiro's made me think of Cal Ripken for some reason but it did. Also, on a lot of these picture quizzes the lsat column of pictures gets cut off for me. Is that just me or are others having that problem too?

	james23tennman:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 18:19 GMT	1 point
	good quiz...but the picture you have for jackson is not his batting stance, it's the end of his swing...just thought it was strange that for everyone else you have the "before" and for him you have the "after".

	Blaise:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 19:12 GMT	1 point
	Make another one! Oddest batting stance by each MLB team? Youkilis, Damon, Utley (his follow-through), etc. It would be so fun.

	yankeespurs101:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 19:23 GMT	0 points
	LOL I am a die-hard Yankees fan and I missed Jeter. **** my life

	Sporctastic:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 20:02 GMT	2 points
	I was thinking of making one with pitchers' deliveries instead of a sequel to batting stances. Either way, I'll have another up sometime next week possibly. :)

	brewcrew09:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 20:55 GMT	0 points
	I'd love to see one for pitchers. Lots of good possibilities there.

	uchusky815:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 21:20 GMT	1 point
	If you've never heard of it, battingstanceguy.com, hilarious batting stance impersonations, awesome quiz.

	kenechi:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 21:38 GMT	1 point
	damn, that quiz was sick! great job!

	deluca171:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 21:47 GMT	2 points
	awesome quiz but jeter coulda been a little clearer

	Rosco:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 21:51 GMT	2 points
	You should block out the minute maid logo on the Bagwell picture... that's how I figured it out, and I ideal it should be just about the stance. Great quiz though!

	brianmcp:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 22:57 GMT	5 points
	Although Tony Batista isn't too well known, I think his stance is obscure enough that some people will recognize it

	ChemicalToilet:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 00:39 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz, I'm looking forward to sequels. 2 and are pretty generic, I got 1 from background info.

	tmonation:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 00:47 GMT	0 points
	yeh i was lookin for tony batista, luis gonzalez, bonds or sheffield, and the reggie jackson isnt rly a stance lol

	hundredman:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 00:55 GMT	1 point
	I couldn't make out 7 because it got cut off. The rest I got.

	yippeeyappee:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 01:03 GMT	0 points
	Aw toobad I can't see the right 20%! Those stances look awesome!

	yippeeyappee:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 01:08 GMT	1 point
	It's a little too hard. Some of those batting stances fit other players I know in the MLB as well. Good idea. it's a quiz I definetly would have done if I thought of it. 0/12

	jdhartnagle:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 02:01 GMT	1 point
	#5 looks sorta like soriano

	hscer:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 03:36 GMT	2 points
	Sporctastic, the two of us aren't getting published enough. We should take it up with the powers that be ;-P

	Mucci3:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 03:52 GMT	1 point
	you should have put coco crisp, lol

	homoerectus69:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 04:03 GMT	0 points
	some of these arent batting stances, theyre already swinging

	Sporctastic:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 05:11 GMT	2 points
	I agree hscer, You and me combined have like a million plays but only one published quiz. It's a travesty.

	riles08:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 17:50 GMT	1 point
	Youk? There's nothing weird about his stance, and you can't tell in the picture that his hands are apart...
