There's little beauty in Michihiro Ogasawara's swing.
It lacks the silky smoothness of Ken Griffey Jr.'s sweet stroke, the finely-tuned precision of Shigeo Nagashima's or iconic status of Sadaharu Oh's flamingo-style swing.
Ogasawara's swing is more explosive, more powerful than those. It bursts forth with such violence it sometimes drives Ogasawara off his feet.
