Without a doubt my favorite swing is that of Will Clark. There have been several sweet swings through the history of the game but in my opinion the Will Clark swing was so fluid and a picture of perfection. Who are some of your favorite swings of all time?

Ken Griffey Jr. - Best swing ever hands down
Barry Bonds
Willie McCovey
Reggie Jackson
Ernie Banks- it looked he barely swung the bat and off would come a 420ft line drive.
Fred McGriff
Stan Musial
Sammy Sosa
Ted Williams
Anthony Rizzo (personal favorite- cool swing)
Ichiro Suzuki - another favorite.
Killebrew
Kaline
Ted Williams and Tony Gwynn for me

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich
Ted Williams
The real discussion is the order following him. I suppose one could even separate the question and offer thoughts as to the best swings to a left handed hitter and right handed hitter. My answer obviously stands with Williams on the left... just not sure of the best from the right.
Always liked Kaline and Killebrew... not sure if either would be my choice as best but both belong in the discussion (as to best swing from the right side)
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Weren't Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich starting pitchers for Yankees in the late 1960s... ?

McGriff and Justice were the best on the Braves that I saw going to all those games back in the day.
Boggs
Gwynn
Sosa
Will Clark
Brett
Pete Rose
Ichiro
Griffey Jr
Yes and the swapped wives during 1973 spring training, hence the swinger reference.
Okay... fair enough... didn't know or even see that coming...

Dick Allen - he could swing a 42 ounce bat like it was a toothpick.
This one's easy to say, but Mantle in his prime had a devastating swing. Always looked like the ball was his worst enemy when he was swinging at it.
hard to beat will the thrill and Griffey for me.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Daryl Strawberry had a beautiful swing.
For no reason that makes any sense to me, I've always thought lefty swings looked much better than right-handed batters.
I think that there are so many more right handed pitchers and that lefty batters swings are uncompromised against them.
I agree

John Kruk versus Randy Johnson in All Star game
George Brett told me who had the best swing he had ever seen. I agreed. He should know.....nobody you have ever heard of. The kid
could slam it!!!!!!
I think the sweetest swings come from the guys who can spray it all around the ballpark with the same fluid motion.
Guys like Gwynn, Brett, Williams.
Morganna had a nice swing.
