I generally like left-handers more than righties, as far as swing beauty goes (Ruth, Ted Williams, Griffey, Boggs, J.D. Drew, Carew, etc.- even Mo Vaughn was fantastic and I can't imagine a right-handed equivalent to him). One '80s guy who did have a really cool looking smooth right-handed swing is Glenn Davis.

Bonds was sick to watch just because the bat seemed like a toy in his hands. Big Mac had a nice one too. That said, the answer is Ken Griffey Jr.

I didn't like Carmelo Anthony's swing the one time I saw it.

Griffey Jr, clearly.

Vlad for pure wildness/power.

A personal favorite for the whole swing was Big Cecil Fielder!

Griffey's swing is a classic line drive power stroke. It is very clean, repeatable, and technically sound. However, Bonds and Ruth have nearly the exact same swing (as do A-Rod and Aaron). I will take Bonds/Ruth's swings over anyone. Unbelievably fast through the zone, short to it and long through it.

However, if we're talking about mortals, then Alex Gordon is my choice.

When Edgar Martinez was a bit younger, he had an awesome stance.

Imagine standing on your right leg, then squatting as low as you can. Then, stick your left leg as far out towards the pitcher as it will reach. He then took his bad, held it over his head, and pointed it towards the pitcher (almost julio franco-esque).

Pure awesome.

(see 1:16 in this video: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VHiata90Mxw

It kinda shows it, but not quite the low squat from the early 90's.
