Kawasaki goes golfing

Caroline Cameron talks with Blue Jays infielder Munenori Kawasaki at the Jays annual golf tourney for the Jays Care Foundation and it appears Kawasaki's baseball swing carries over to golf as well.

Kawasaki is still a legend on TV in japan.. he brags that he skipped practice to come join talk shows that he gets invited to. Then he shares inside scoops of Japanese players... Like darvish yu came to japan for wbc to coach on the differences in the ball or laars nootbaar was key to winning cause he taught the team to party hard but play hard.

[@calit5109]

I've watched like 10 of these interviews and my favorite part is when theres this awkward pause after Kawasaki finishes what he says and looks so proud of himself. This man is like oddly so adorable idk how to explain it

[@Dreadlock1227]

I have a ton of respect for this guy for having the confidence to do all the interviews and stuff in English. People who haven't had to communicate in a different language probably underestimate how nerve racking that must be. My wife is Norwegian, and I've learned a decent amount of Norwegian, but whenever we're with her family and everyone is speaking Norwegian, I get super nervous and usually just end up resorting to English because I get self conscious about my Norwegian. I can't imagine how nerve racking it must be but he doesn't even seem phased

[@justinjacobs5464]

I'm the exact same way with Norwegian and Bokmal is one of the easier languages to learn if you know English. Munenori's situation is so much more difficult!
