Mine was a combination of Reggie Jackson and Pete Rose.

I tried a Rod Carew/George Brett like stance, but it didn't work for me.

    Depends on what I wanted to hit:

    For a single, it was Rod Carew's,

    For a double, I used Doug Decinces',

    For a triple, I used Willie McGee's,

    And for a homer, I used Brian Downing's.

    That was when I was in T-ball.

    When I was older, I made the drastic move from using Downing's to Jerome Walton's.

    A little bit like Rickey Henderson. Danny said "Danny's getting a hit"

    I don't know. I used a stance that didn't get me yelled at by the coach.

    Chris Chambliss batted with one eye closed. I saw a tip that he gave on why he did that one afternoon during the Game of the Week. I had gone three games without a hit, so I gave it a shot. I was hitting like that throughout little league, middle school, and high school and it never failed me.

    I was planning an Aaron Rowand reference but you beat me to it...

    Any kid who copies the Aaron Rowand batting stance is either trying to lay one in the batter's box or asking his teammates for a wedgie in the dugout.

    Tried Killebrew with warning track results, switched to Oliva and hit a lot of line drives (still no power though).

    We would always mess around with a few different:

    Growing up in LA we always did the Steve Garvey, straight posture, upper cut swing;
    Switch to the left, choke up, crouch and do a little Rod Carew;
    Joe Morgan/Willie Stargell bat angle;
    Mickey Rivers bat movement;
    Reggie Jackson swing for the fences;

    ....
