He looks... different.

He looks... different.

Who else has that crazy ass'd batting stance?

 

[Mulli]

He looks... different.

He does. Without the stance, I would not have recognized him.

He's gained like 50 pounds.

That's not Danny Bautista, that is Tony Bautista. He was with one of the Florida teams (don't remember which one) for several years.

Tony Batista. Played for the Dbacks.

Yes, he was a poor fielding SS with the D'backs, wasn't he?

Then went on to become a power hitting 3B in the AL.

Wow- I don't remember him being with the team at all. I stand corrected. Guess he didn't make a very big impression with me

Haha,

I remember Batista like it was yesterday. Strange stance, real quiet dude...

That video is over a year old, btw
