Youk may be changing his batting stance, but did he have strangest ever?

When you think of Kevin Youkilis, you can't help but think of his quirky batting stance. You know, both feet at the back-end of the batter's box, right hand high above the bat as if he's going to lay down a bunt.

Well, word has it Youk may be altering his famous approach with Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long, and that made us think of some of the strangest stances in recent baseball history. Here's a short list of five. You can try these at home, but please just pull the ball and not any of your muscles.

Nobody got low like Jeff Bagwell

Touch the sky, Craig Counsell. The two-time World Series champ stretched his hands to the max every time he came up to the dish

Julio Franco played in the Bigs until he was 47, so good luck knocking his knees-knocking-knees stance

Unlike Counsell or Franco, Todd Zeile's approach seemed completely and spectacularly relaxed

We're not sure if opposing pitchers ever saw Mo Vaughn's face behind his strong right forearm, but they probably did notice a few of his 328 moon shots
