I'm pretty sure you need two hands on the bat to be an effective hitter. What do I know? Julio Franco had just put up 172 hits for a .296 average so maybe he knows more about hitting than I do.
What about Jeff Frye? He didn't even bother to use a whole bat!
These next two cards intrigue me.
This 1996 Leaf Mickey Tettleton shows Mickey holding the remains of bat.
This 1996 Pacific card shows Mickey about a millisecond later in the same at bat. I've seen this on other blogs and I always found it fascinating when someone would find the same action on two different cards. This one even crosses manufacturers and I like it.
These cards came as part of a large package from Howard over at Wanted: Baseball Cards. This is nowhere near all the cards Howard sent over and I do have another post or two planned for some of them.
Thanks for the great package Howard!
LOL, now u guys know he was asking for time out. As for the the "repeated" at bat by different card companies, my guess is that the photog was a freelancer and sold both companies "their" shot. I too like that, just so long as its only a couple of cards for a given year.
