I was going to ask who the sweetest righthanded swing in history is then I realized DiMaggio is a righty (I just assumed they'd all be lefties). Any other righties worth considering?

Lot of bias toward left handed hitters…lefties have “prettier” swings than righties

Far prettier. I don't think it's really bias, it's just physical reality.

Was just curious what right-handers are considered to have nice swings themselves.

I’ve always liked Edgar’s hack…balanced, easy pole-to-pole power
Joe D’s swing, while obviously effective, is pretty much hips and hands, with no discernible stride (nttawwt)…

Hot take. I think that half of why lefties are perceived to have nicer swings is because the angle of the camera on TV is always from the opposite side and you can see their swing open up more than that of a righty. There's no reason why a lefty swing would mechanically be any different than a righty.
