As much as I hate David Ortiz, when the big man gets hold of one, it's a sight to see.

Omar Infante... errr... I meant...

In all reality my favorite current player's is Adam Jones but in all of time Jr. wins undoubtedly.

Juan Uribe has a fun HR swing, does like jazz hands to finish it off.

Amen. He and Will Clark had the most gorgeous HR swings I've ever witnessed.

If Bartolo Colon ever hit a HR then he'd be #1 for sure.
Other than him, I like the swings of Pujols, Stanton, Harper, and Gattis the most.

I know its not really the swing, but I always liked watching Paul O'Neil hit home runs, because he would crank it and then he would always just put his head down and just run the bases. I loved the fact that he would never show up a pitcher or just stare down his homers, no matter how far they went.

How has Manny Ramirez not been mentioned yet?? Not saying he's #1, but he's no doubt in my top 3.

Absolutely Canseco here for me. He didn't have a sweet swing; he had an extremely violent one. That is one of the reasons I was such a big fan.

In person definitely Canseco...the most violent swing ever, it was insane! For pure joy definitely Griffey Jr! Just as Jordan has his famous Jumpman logo so too does Griffey Jr have Swingman on Nike baseball gear...

Power = Canseco

Damn Pretty = Griffey Jr

That is all...

-I second the motion.

Williams was a better hitter, but Griffey had a prettier swing.
