I love how Phillips gets settled into the batters box and then windmills the bat 7 or 8 times. Sean Casey had a fancy ritual of fidgeting, pulling, tugging, etc etc.
What batter has the weridest or most elaborate batters box ritual?

I always liked how Dante Bichette twirled his bat.
Mike Hargrove, the Human Time Delay.
Use to love to watch Morgan and the elbow "hitch".

Watch Q McC next time he comes in to PH..... he looks like gumby, and not in a funny green ball of clay way. More of a "please stop you're scaring the kids" way.

Casey's ritual annoyed me.
Help stamp out, eliminate, and do away with redundancy.
Leaving Sean Casey off the list would be insanity. I know he had a system, but his batting glove adjustment, hip twitching, and butt shaking used to drive me nuts. Also Quinton McCracken all that movement, just goes to show you how he justifies taking a shower after a game, he breaks a sweat getting into hitting position, and then running 85 feet. The last 5 are towards the dugout.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
John Kruk whenever he had to face Randy Johnson
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
There wasn't that much body movement but there seemed to be something menacing about the way George Foster waved his bat over the plate.
Harry "The Hat" Walker took his hat off between every pitch
The Hal Morris 2-step
Stargell used to twirl is bat around and around
More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
How Hal Morris ever made it to the Majors without some coach nailing his back foot to the ground has always amazed me. I suppose it's because he always hit, but it goes against everything you're taught.
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
What about Terry Pendeltons, crotch-grab, cup adjustment, classic.
Sammy Sosa's little kissing his fingers routine always made me want to punch an infant, how I prayed he would poke himself in the eye.

I've always like Ichiros ritual, holding the bat parallel to the ground and the sleeve pull....looks very confident.
Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!
if you watch phillips he will glance at the bat every time he windmills it
