Kawasaki's double gives Toronto walk-off win

[@SudoFPS]

My best friend took me to this game. I didn’t know anything about baseball at the time, and the game was dragging on so we started wondering if we should leave. Shortly after, Kawasaki pulled this off and everyone went crazy. My friend told me that was what baseball was all about. It’s a fond memory. My friend has since passed away (at age 22) and this video has reminded me of such good times.

[@FR0ZENxTUNA]

Wow I wasn't expecting that... I'm sorry for your loss, may your friend rest in peace

He just retired. Thanks for the memories Munenori.

alphabet933 Figures. Had heard of him and remembered him as a fringe player. Yet, had no idea what a great guy he is. Hopefully he will stick as a coach if it is something he wishes.

It's so weird. This is just a normal win yet I have tears in my eyes because I'm so glad to see him succeed.

[@efrayimbulka2292]

It's against my Orioles but I couldn't be happier

[@ByersDublin13]

I think I speak for everyone when I say his joy for the game brings us all back to our happiest childhood memories.

[@syauqirashadSR]

turbobenx I’m pretty sure by childhood memories, he meant how kawasaki played the game. All smiles, actually having fun instead of taking it seriously.

[@sr20DETdrift]

@turbobenx oh man those days of seeing Mark absolutely crush the ball was great but I feel their legacy is tainted with all the steroid controversy.

[@naruhodone0124]

Incredibly, he developed mental illness after returning to Japan. I feel like he was doing a lot of work to get the team excited. However, he is now playing well in Japan's independent league. And on Japanese variety shows, he always makes us smile just like he did when he was with the Cubs. I followed Ichiro to America and continued to improve myself in order to inspire the team. He is my biggest hero.
