  Note that Hy Myers batted right handed. This is not his batting stance, it's his follow through. You can tell that he used a closed front foot (pigeon toed) batting stance and then rotated off the rear foot. It allows a lot of body rotation in the swing, but look at his feet! If I tried that it's a toss up of whether I'd dislocate a hip or break an ankle first.
