You know Henry Arron started out his career crossing his hands on the bat when he swung.
He could top the ball and shoot some wicked line drives.
My wife's unlce her mom's brother is Don Jordan.
He played with Henry Arron on the Eau Claire, Wi Braves farm team.
Don is only Eau Claire native to have played for the Eau Claire Braves Farm team.
He then went to Korea in the war for 2 years.
When he came back his pitching arm was not the same.
I have seen photo's from a book on Baseball in Eau Claire, WI.
He told me a story that at first Henry did not want to change his hands on the bat.
He wanted to do it his own way.
Hank showed the players in Eau Claire how he could slice the ball towards right field and the ball would move from right to left.
The movement off the bat as if he were a left handed hitter.
When he put his hands on the bat hand over hand.
He found out he was a power hitter.
What helped his swing was his instinct to hit to right field.
Thus Henry had power to all fields.
My reason for telling you this?
If Hank chose not to listhen to others he would not be the Henry Aaron we all know today.
He would have been the fluke who crossed his hands.
So take the advice, change your picture....
