2 more spring training games, then the real fun begins. I had the pleasure to Interview (no i didnt) Munenori Kawasaki about the upcoming season. You wont want to miss this. A bit of fun before the season starts.
He’s probably playing Fortnight. Jordan Romano, Fortnight enthusiast and up and coming Blue Jays prospect, joins Matt and Barry from his home in Markham, ON. The guys laugh like old buddies when they discuss Jordan’s rising fame, the attention he’s getting with endorsements and calling Vladimir Guerrero Jr. when the Fisher Cats won the championship. Uber is brought up and Jordan offers his insight into the recent situation with the Ottawa Senators. The three also talk dreams and how Jordan is watching his come into focus. It’s a wonderful chat... A young man on the verge of achieving something many can only imagine. Damon Bennett, of HGTV fame, is joined by Barry to talk Sports Cave’s and how to trick them out. Raj Suppiah discusses Munenori Kawasaki’s favourite exercise equipment. The First Pitch talks Russell Martin and the GM Meetings having Blue Flu. Ask Barry Davis focuses on records and what is a must have and pick off attempts at first base. The results of the Fair or Foul Poll are revealed. Yeah. That’s a ton! Jordan, Damon, Raj, Barry and the other guy! You’re gonna love it.

Munenori Kawasaki stakes out an interesting corner in Blue Jays history. Not the greatest hitter or fielder, he boogied his way into fans' hearts in 2013 with his hustle, enthusiasm and plain old quirkiness. As RA Dickie once said: “he’s gotten the most out of his abilities, more than anyone else in the clubhouse"; the best back-handed compliment I’ve ever heard! Sadly he was not re-signed by the Jays in 2016 but he won’t be soon forgotten. The dancing, the interviews, the BUSH PARTIES! Kawasaki Fever! This time on the Pitch Talks Podcast.
