Farewell Munenori Kawasaki, the man who gave Blue Jays fans something to cheer for in 2013

Munenori Kawasaki

The Toronto Blue Jays have decided not to re-sign fan favorite, and all around great guy Munenori Kawasaki.

Kawasaki, who spent last season in both Toronto and Buffalo (their AAA affiliate) was an interesting character both on and off the field. I think I speak for most Blue Jays fans when I say that we will miss him.

Although it will suck not having him around, the ugly truth is that Kawasaki was a dispensable player. At the end of the day, his role on the field won't be hard for the Blue Jays to fill, but his role off the field, well that's a whole different ball game.

I've decided to honour this great character by showing you some of his best work over his time with the Blue Jays, and the Seattle Mariners. Here are Munenori Kawasaki's best moments. And here's to hoping he lands himself a job in the Majors.

This is a video of his first ever major league home-run. It was a pretty special moment for him, and you can tell by everyone's reaction that it was a special moment for them too.

Perhaps his best moment came in this post-game interview, where he emphatically stated to the Blue Jays fans who he is, and where he is from.

In another special moment for Kawasaki, he hits a walkoff double here securing a win for the Blue Jays.

Here we see him signing autographs and singing the Canadian National Anthem.

The infamous dugout dance. He danced this little diddy when he was playing for the Seattle Mariners.

This is my personal favorite. He's playing catch with some Blue Jays fans hours before the game is even supposed to start at US Cellular Field in Chicago, home to the Chicago White Sox. Once again assuring that although he's replaceable on the field, his personal, and funny nature can't be replaced. http://baseballhotcorner.com/toronto-blue-jays-munenori-kawasaki-plays-catch-with-fans/ (here's a better link to the longer video of him playing catch with the fans).
