I was reading about Tom Verducci's all-time team today. He did a decent job for a sportswriter, he did put Gibson on the team without mentioning Oh, He does have A-rod overrated, but that's to be expected. But then I scroll down to coaches:
Hitting Coach | Charley Lau | Catcher from 1956 to '67 and hitting coach for five teams
Popularized the "weight shift" style of hitting.

Wow......... he got it just a little bit wrong.

Considering the accomplishments he did as a hitting coach for Royals, Yankees and 1983 ChiSox, that's not surprising... I know there are a lot of member who contradicts to his method, his accomplishments are actually hard to ignore. But, I guess his methods didn't work out for particular hitters (Sammy Sosa complained about his swing methods taught by Walt Hriniak back when he was in ChiSox according to his autobiography).

If Verducci read on this board, he'd have voted for Steve Englishbey...


Yes, to bad Verducci only lives in the real world of MLB and not the fantasy world of the internet :rolleyes:
