I know a lot of people talk about "Ken Griffey's swing", "John Olerud's swing" but for my money there is nothing more beautiful than Alejandro Kirk:
- 5'7 and built like a Welsh corgi
- basically drops halfway into a splits on each swing
- each swing is a Street Fighter "Shooooryuken" uppercut

Prison advocates say the hot conditions amount to unfair treatment and excessive punishment. Current and formerly incarcerated individuals told Reuters in a series of interviews that they dreaded summers. One person said the heat was so oppressive it felt like they were “breathing under water.”
