Batspeeds of Major League Hitters

Anyone. Does anyone know the batspeeds of any of the great hitters or hitters in todays game. I think it would be interesting to compare a David Eckstein to a Mark McGwire who had a batspeed on an ESPN game of 100. A few years back I saw where Griffey Jr had a batspeed of 95-96. I also noticed that the batspeed tended to drop when a curve or offspeed pitch was thrown. Perhaps this is because some hitters pause in relation to if they are fooled slightly.

This song is traditionally sung during the 7th inning stretch?
   All My Roudy Friends
   Take Me Out to the Ballgame
   I Wish I was in Dixie
   Hail to the Chief
