I googled "prettiest baseball swing" and at the bottom where it gives related searches 6 of the 9 were Ken Griffey Jr related.

Ted Williams is widely acclaimed to have the best swing in history.

Ted Williams is widely acclaimed to have the best swing in history.

Williams was rumored to have had a secret hitting coach, whom later he tried to get support for this hitting coach to be elected into the hall of fame. Shoeless Joe Jackson was the rumored coach.

That's way cool. I still don't like how Jackson was railroaded when there was no proof that he threw the Series. That was an abuse of power not seen again until that punk Roger Goodell....

Pujols. Pitchers are nastier nowadays


Yes I realize how unpopular that opinion is going to be you old f#$ks

A couple things evened out the old-timers and today's pitchers. The lowering of the pitching mound and changing of the knock down pitch. Just think if they raised the mound for today's pitchers. After 1968 the mound was lowered 5 inches. I know your are refering to nasty as good, but the old-time pitchers had the ability to know down batters and not get thrown out of games due to the wussification of the rules. Nolan Ryan pitched from the 1960's thru till the 1990's, and only Verlander has close to his stuff. There are a lot of bad pitchers today too, aka Minnesota Twins.

There are some pitchers that would be good in any generation.

the big difference for today (to me) is that guys have to face 3+ different pitchers a night because of bullpens. So you face a lot more fresh arms than older guys did.

I would also contend that Roger Clemens in his prime had Ryanesque stuff. That's a little before my time though. So I can't say for sure.

I thought of him, many people like him. IMO he's close to Mike Schmidt or Tom Seaver, but not the rest on the list.
