I've never proclaimed myself an "expert." I have coached hitting for over 20 years at the high school level and have had players achieve some pretty special stuff. As the moderator of this site, I do my best to avoid too much intrusion and/or pushing my hitting agenda. Every now and again, I will interject some idea for discussion or disagree with a statement. I will, however, also stop anyone on this forum that comes to it with an agenda to attack others. The instant any poster violates the policies they will either be censored or be banned. A few words of warning:
- Beware of anyone on this site that proclaims themselves an expert. I think Socrates said it best when he suggested that the most intelligent people realize that they are ignorant.
- Beware of anyone on this site who suggest that they and only they know the MLB swing. I'd seriously ask them what their profession is. BTW, if they suggest that they are an expert on the MLB swing, one great question would be, have they produced this in some format such as DVD? Do they demonstrate their ideas to the masses and are on the record in a format that can't be changed as they change their dogma? Do they present that philosophy to the masses in clinics? Are they actively teaching this method to students LIVE. If so, how many students? Finally, an appopriate question might be the level of success their students have achieved.
- Beware of anyone that has to post on this site in multiple identities. Come on. How absurd is that when you have to have hitting arguments with yourself to prove the validity of your point. LOSER!
- Beware of anyone that when you do a search find that they have attacked posters on multiple sites with drastically opposite dogmas. This would then only be justified by a narcissistic personality that doesn't care about right and wrong but instead about being recognized by the masses a some kind of hitting Guru.
- Beware of anyone shouting the Hanson Principle. I recall the statement, "Numbers don't lie. The people counting the numbers do. I think that the same applies to various posters, their agendas and the truth.
All of the above is JMHO!
