Gary Sheffield has still got it. Sheffield posted a video of himself taking swings on Instagram on Monday night, and there’s no question he still has that iconic swing. You know the one -- that classic bat wiggle. And he did it all while smoking a cigar, no less.
Sheffield, who last played in the Majors in 2009 as a 40-year-old with the Mets, knows he’s still got it, too. His caption on the video: “51 years old and still has the fastest hands alive #garysheffieldswing haha old man still got it."
