Matt Holliday Credits Big Mac for HR Power Surge

[He Hate Me]

Says tips from McGwire helped him increase his HR total this year. Its batting tips, but I think Matt may be a little naieve at how this MIGHT sound.

Holliday credits much of his power surge to former single-season home run champion McGwire, who visited Coors Field last August and broke down Holliday's swing on video and then suggested Holliday add a leg kick.

 

"I had done it a little bit, I would mess with it sometimes and when it went bad, I'd just can it and go back to just stride," Holliday said. "He talked to me about how still my head was when I would do it. He figured that if I stuck with it, I could get used to it."

 

Holliday said he was thrilled to get advice from McGwire, who's been a bit of a recluse in recent years after his memorable sidestepping of steroid questions before Congress and a failure to make the Hall of Fame last winter.

s*** I was in 3rd place from July to mid-September in my league. And I fell to 6th because the douche I faced had him.
