I feel like the left handed swing is naturally more inclined for hitting a baseball squarely too. When I think of the sweetest swings I think of left handed batters like Ken Griffey Jr. or Don Mattingly. There just seems to be something natural about it. I remember watching Johnny Damon during his Yankees days and he always just seemed to lay the bat head out there and hit a line drive.
The right handed swing can be beautiful too but it seems to have a lot more violence involved. I loved watching Gary Sheffield hit but I wouldn't say he had the grace of Griffey.
