Similar swing, similar results? |
I knew there was something familiar about Dan Uggla's swing. And it wasn't until I saw a recent still of his HR cut that it hit me.
Fred McGriff.
Same high, one-handed follow through and hopefully the same impact. I doubt there will be extra fire alarms in the press box, but there certainly could be fireworks from Uggla's spot in the lineup. You'd think as a Braves fan I would connect the Uggla swing to the McGriff swing much sooner, seeing how Uggla has held that pose quite a few time against us. I guess I could have been blinded by my hands over my face in disbelief that he did it to us again.

Plumber's Night at the park as a lucky Braves fan goes for a Uggla HR ball |
McGriff ended up being that power bat that carried us to the playoffs and ultimately our first World Series Championship. With all the other positions seemingly in place and a potentially dominate and deep staff, could the Dan Uggla acquisition be the new spark that issues in a new run to a championship run? Let's hope it is Deja Vu all over agian.
