Description: At the end of his career, trying to make the roster of the lowly Kansas City A's in spring training, 1964. Youngsters, pay attention! This is one of the best power hitters of all time; notice that his grip is a good two inches above the knob of his bat. "Choking up" like this gives you more bat control at only a slight sacrifice of long-ball power.
