I read both trying to become a switch hitter. Building a left handed swing from scratch was an interesting undertaking, and at the time Brett/Boggs/Mattingly were the best - so I wanted to hit lefty like them. Interestingly, I found my natural left-handed stance was more like Rod Carew - which worked well with Lau's "flat hands" approach. I worked on it all one off-season and through my Sr. year, and finally got brave enough to try it in my next to the last high school game. Of course I walked on 4 straight pitches and never got a chance to swing. That's baseball.
