    Most of these are damn spot on. A couple of them are really hilarious.

    Lance Berkman's swing and Jose Cruz was the best.

    What batting stances can you do? I got a good one of Moises Alou.

    Nope. You can *not* do a Jose Cruz unless you drop the right pinky onto the ball of the handle.

    I was expecting him to not take the bat off his shoulder for Ensberg.

    MUHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

    E-mail the guy; tell him he has to do that.

    How do you mimic Ensberg anyway? He morphs like Optimus Prime every other week.

    Bagwell has the best squat like taking a dump stance.

    I'm sure the guy worked on the stuff before they created the video but he is good. I watched a bunch of the videos from his site. Some of the imitations are just plain hilarious while almost all of them have some degree of accuracy.

    Some of these were amazingly accurate. He nailed Cruz, Bass (with the extended leg), and Biggio (with that flat motion). But nothing made me laugh more than the Bagwell Squat. Classic.

    After Berkman and Ausmus I liked the Denny Walling one for whatever reason. Keeping that head nice and still, no wasted motion like a professional hitter is taught....

    All of Batting Stance Guy's clips seem a bit rushed. Before he finishes a swing the goofball giving him the names tells him to do something else.
