Batting Stance Guy, Gar Ryness, is a popular YouTuber and web personality known for the "least marketable skill in America," his spitting-image recreations of the batting stances of pretty much any Major League baseball player to step foot on a baseball diamond.

In honor of his newly released book, Batting Stance Guy: A Love Letter to Baseball and the upcoming Father's Day celebration (Reminder: June 20! Wouldn't that book be a nice gift?), Ryness set out to show off the batting stances behind the 10 Best Major League Baseball Players and Their Baseball Player Kids, exclusively for Urlesque readers. Also, we have four copies of the book to give away to lucky readers. See how to enter after the video.

Want to win a copy of Batting Stance Guy: A Love Letter to Baseball? Comment on this post below and tell us which baseball team you root for by next Wednesday, June 9, 2010 at 12pm ET. We'll pick four comments at random to win a copy of Batting Stance Guy's new book! (See the full official giveaway rules.)
Update: The contest is now closed and all winners have been contacted. Congrats!

The batting stance guy is a pioneer for completely useless, yet awesome, skills.

And I'm an A's fan all the way.

Always loved this guys videos, and hands down the Rays are the greatest team in sports.

Detroit Tigers, baby.

Michigander born & raised, plus Magnum P.I. still holds up.

My all-time fav "batting stance" by BSG is probably Gary Sheffield, but that's a personal preference.

I root for the Mets, so that should automatically give me a heads up in winning the book. I've been through enough already.

The New York Mets! I also loved his impersonation of Julio Franco. One of the all-time greats...

Red Sox in the AL, Rockies in the NL (2007 was fun...)

It has to be the Mariners. Growing up in Seattle, they were like your drunk uncle who you couldn't help but love, no matter how many times they shit the bed.

I know I'll get a lot of hatred but I've been a Dodger fan since birth - GO BIG BLUE WRECKING CREW!!!!! By the way; my favorite player is Casey Blake (I know; but I like the underdog) and your imitations of The Beard are priceless!
