Therefore, I feel it does apply. The question is not "does everyone who hits a home run follow key principles of hitting?", no the question is "are all the immortal great hitters in the hall of fame those that followed the key principles of good hitting?" To me, the answer is yes. (Now I know you are going to want to wax lyrical about Derrick Jeter, and how all these Yankee hitters are doing so well under the Yankees hitting coach, but lets try to keep this on topic).
I was following along real well with this baseball analogy hoping to hear about former Clevelander Jim Thome, a real class act, but instead you acted like a NYC "homer" and had to bring up Jeter.
