Bam-Bam named as San Francisco Giants hitting coach

[4train]

I can't believe he had the nerve to announce this during the World Series.

He looks like he can hit.

Bam Bam. Can Meulens do cartwheels? The real Bam Bam died a couple of years ago from od.

LOL at the Giant's team .309 OBP this season. Hot damn.

Seriously..

"None of that will matter much if Meulens, 42, can't curb the Giants' free-swinging tendencies..."

Wasn't he a windmill when he played?

I would sign up for certain Yankees to have that OBP during the World Series.

That's super. So would Phillies by the name of Howard, Feliz, Ibanez, Victorino and Stairs. Our team OBP is .316. The Phillies is .314. Sh*t happens when looking at a (so far) 5 game set.

He always struck out a ton, but at least in the minors he walked a fair bit too. But yeah, presumably they're counting on him to teach better than he could do, because his career doesn't scream patience.

I think he may be referring to a different Bam Bam, because this one has been dead for about two years now. Still, he was a hell of a hitter in his day.

That was Bam Bam Bigelow, but this was the "real" one:

First female hitting coach?

Nice.

Fixed a mean sandwich too, from what I understand.

[TinoFan84]

Meulens as a hitting coach? To me that's just comical. Almost as funny as trying to picture Pujols taking instruction from his new hitting coach, Mark McGwire.

Not unlike, say, Charlie Lau and George Brett.
