Recently l wrote an article about
the follow thru in golf, showing how
well-known baseball batters, with
their style of batting. were unable
to get anything that resembled
follow thru in their swing. When
baseball is thrown at batter it
usually comes with such terrific
speed that all the batter can hope
to do is to meet the ball. And even
bat. as powerful as ii is. Is some
times broken in the collision. There
is no indication whatever of the fine
sweep of the golf club made by the
golfer. where the ball Is literally
swept away from the tee. The near
est resemblance the baseball batter
has to this stroke is in fungo hitting,
where the bali offers no particular
resistance to the bat. 1t is no diff
cult feat for a batter to stand at
the home plate and drive many balls
over into the bleachers by tossing
them into the air and hitting them.
