Jeff Bagwell had an wierd, yet powerful, stance, i agree with the other guy that it looked a bit like a samurai. It was a smart stance though, it made a pitchers strike zone for him alot smaller, so they had to pitch pretty much where Bagwell wanted it, thus he was able to get so many homeruns and hits as he did.
Craig Counsell stance i dont understand at all, except for the fact it might be intimidating to the pitcher or something, but it is wierd.
Coco Crisp just has that face he does that makes me laugh a bit everytime he is up to bat
Albert Pujols has a powerful stance and he just has a stance that makes you think he will hit a homerun everytime, just by the way he presents himself at the plate he also has the wierd squatting thing sorta like Bagwell did.

Counsell, Bagwell, Franco have the oddest styles.
Ichiro's perpetual motion, and Garciaparra's obsessive-compulsive act are pretty entertaining.
Of the old-timers, Suduharu Oh and Mel Ott's Captain Morgan impressions were pretty remarkable.
Ty Cobb's split-handed style has to fit in there somewhere. So does 158-lb Heinie Groh's carrying a 46-oz bottle-bat.

Harold Baines, who played pro ball from 1980 - 2001, mostly with the White Sox (on a few different occasions) but also with Texas, Oakland, Cleveland, and Baltimore.
He batted Left and would crouch and lean back on his rear leg and hold his bat down, so far as much, that the end of the barrel would nearly touch the ground.

Don Wert, Detroit. Stood facing the pitcher. It looked weird.
Yaz. He had so many stances. The one where he held the bat up as high as he could. . .freaky.
Joe Morgan. Flapped like a chicken.
Stan Musial. He gave fans lower back pains just watching him. Then he'd 'uncoil'. Great hitter.

Phil Plantier -- stood like he was a half-inch from sitting on a chair, but brought the bat around explosively.
Bagwell's stance and swing were things of beauty.

Mickey Rivers used to twirl the bat around like a baton after he swung and missed.
Oscar Gamble used to croutch down to about 3 feet and then just uncork and hit some really long homers

Counsell and Franco are up there, for sure. But don't forget Joe McEwing, who actually raises his front foot in the box so that only his toes are really planted for the pitch. I guess that's how you end up with 25 homers in a ten-year career.
