Munenori Kawasaki Just Left the Blue Jays, So We Rounded Up His 15 Greatest Moments

It’s a sad day in Toronto. After three exuberant, antic-filled seasons, Munenori Kawasaki is no longer a Blue Jay. Last night, the beloved free agent infielder signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs.

Here’s what we’ll miss the most:

Those beautiful, beautiful dance moves.

Just how much he loved Canada.

The best interviews in all of baseball.

Here he is after Game 5 of the ALDS:

And during the post-game celebrations:

There was the time he only spoke English to a Japanese reporter. “In Canada, I only speak English, bro.”

And the time he got pied after a game-tying double:

Or that time he snuck into the scrum and interviewed Esmil Rogers:

His bromance with Barry Davis.

Here he is giving Barry the daily injury report:

The duo had a joyful reunion in 2014:

But nothing tops the time Muni explained the difference between himself and David Ortiz:

And the flashes of, you know, actual baseball.

Kawa hit a walk-off double in 2013:

He once robbed Mike Trout of a hit by ranging into right:

And here he is turning two:

So long, Muni. Thanks for the memories. We’ll always love you.
