Dick McAuliffe

Richard John McAuliffe was an American professional baseball shortstop / second baseman, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the [[Detroit Tigers (1960–73) and Boston Red Sox (1974–75). He was a part of the Tigers' 1968 World Series championship, and was known for his unusual batting stance. A left-handed hitter, McAuliffe held his hands very high with an open stance that faced the pitcher. As the pitcher delivered to home plate, he moved his forward (right) foot to a more conventional position before swinging.
