Ott was a unique player in many ways. He was known for his unorthodox batting stance, which involved standing very close to the plate and holding his bat high in the air. Despite this unusual approach, Ott was able to take advantage of his quick reflexes and incredible hand-eye coordination to hit home runs at a remarkable rate. He was also a respected team leader who served as a player-coach for the Giants during the final years of his career.In total, we tracked 551 items since 01/01/2008.
