He does impressions of major leaguers in their batting stances. Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez loved his mimickry."  "Loved" is a relative term.  Enjoy.

Not too much to add to that title, so we'll just say thanks to the Bleacher Report for including him.  And #6 at that.  It's a great list though, and we gotta give props to our buddy Josh Womack for topping the group.  So far, it's the only stance BSG can't imitate.  So check it out > The 20 Coolest Sports Tricks in History.
