Essentially that was the case near the end of his stints with both the Jays and Cubs who, despite his being ineligible for play, invited him to join them during their respective postseasons because he was so good for team chemistry. Kawa being Kawa, he showed up for every game and you can see him out on the field celebrating with the Cubs when they won the Series that season

my favourite blue jay ever. at the time he joined the bench, morale was very low. the dugout needed a clown. he arrived, and everyone loosened up. everyone's stats went up. and he could play! i remember sitting in the 500s watching him knock that single to win it. clutch play in a tense moment.

I know someone who was a Kawasaki’s physical trainer in Japan. When the physical trainer’s son was born, he visited the trainer’s wife home to congratulate him. He is a truly nice guy.❤

1:40 Reporter, “do you have goals for the season”? Muni, “I don’t like ghost...I scared of ghost” 😂😂

Once a t a interview, he said, “many Japanese people come here and don’t make it and they complain. They say the environment is bad, my English isn’t good, etc. Too many excuses. If you don’t like the environment, try to change it. Don’t complain.” He’s not only funny but very intelligent and works very very hard to where he wants to be. All Japanese love him!!

This is what confidence is. None of that arrogant, "no fucks given" attitude. Knowing you're not great at something, but eager to try and do your best. Watch everyone smiling in his presence. What a guy.

I honestly didn't notice until you pointed it out, but they really do tie all his facial expressions together

I’m so impressed about how brave he is. He played a sport professionally in a country he doesn’t know their language.

After Munenori returned to Japan, he suffered from mental illness. Maybe he was trying too hard to play the character. But seeing him still playing in an independent league in Japan gives me courage. He is my number one hero because he followed Ichiro, whom I admire, across the ocean and was loved in a foreign land.

I am living here in Japan and I regularly see him on TV doing commentaries on baseball specially about Ohtani and what he is presently doing now. Mr. “Kawa” is still THE man with lots of positive energy even on early morning sports news, , , 😊❤

I know about this guy cause my ex is a baseball fan. He met Kawasaki in front of the US embassy in Osaka years ago and my ex said he was kind and very willing to take a pic

He WAS the team when we had him in Seattle. I missed him so much when he went to Toronto. Mune is truly forever a treasure to baseball. Fearless, and always so positive❤

It's true when he said he was shy. Kawasaki fought dysautonomia. I'm sure he genuinely enjoyed his time away from Japan, being surrounded by great teammates and local fans. I suffered from the same condition and left Japan, and it is slowly getting better. I act like a clown without being so shy in a foreign land, and I actually enjoy that. Ichiro or Ohtani may perform better in a filed. But for me, Kawasaki is the best baseball player.

@user-tg8zs1py9q

It was after returning from the United States that Kawasaki learned that he had dysautonomia. That's why I don't think it can be cured in America. Clowns can't do that forever either. In his case, it was one of his jobs in America. Lately, I've been seeing a lot of Kawasaki energetic appearance on TV.
