    I think the only reason Frank didn't follow through on his swing is because that ball would kill someone in the stands and pitchers would just intentionally walk him all the time. He toned it down to make pitchers feel like he won't rock them yet still hit a bunch of homers and somehow got a bunch of walks. Most disciplined hitter I've ever seen.

      Frank always said that his goal was to hit more for Average rather than Home Runs. He was a Line Drive Hitter and concentrated on maximizing his all-around contributions. Frank never wanted to be known as just another power hitter even though he did hit 500+ home runs. He was one of the most Disciplined Hitters that's ever played the game. What's not talked about much is the fact that he played injured for a large portion of his career and was still amazing. Unfortunately, these UA-cam complications don't show him crushing doubles and knocking in all those RBI's. I'd like to see a Compilation that Highlights him being the all-around great hitter he was.
