John Kalafarski Someone will help me with this. I've seen a brief clip of Joe swinging the bat: he swung so hard that his follow through nearly cast him to the ground. Kind of like Gary Sheffield times ten. I just finished listening to The Glory of Their Times tape again and someone spoke of Joe's swing as being particularly vicious. Also, wasn't his outfield post known as "the place where doubles went to die." Ted Williams was a huge booster of Joe for the Hall. See his essay on Joe in Ted Williams, My Life in Pictures.
