The Bambino

Ruth at bat - you can feel the power ready to uncoil.  It makes me think also of Mantle.

Check out this video I found on YouTube breaking down a classic Ruth swing:

That was fanatastic. I watched it for an hour.
I actually have that soft ware on my IPAD and use it to teach the kids about the golf swing.

I will make two comments:
1. The AOI is what Byron Nelson supposedly could do longer than anyone.
2. I am amazed and the sheer speed of the hip rotation and the orator made a great point in mentioning the mass accumulated by his arm as an extention to the bat.
Force = Mass x Acceleration.
Amazing Stuff.
