Munenori Kawasaki star of post-season celebrations yet again

Munenori Kawasaki star of post-season celebrations yet again

Many fans of the Toronto Blue Jays remember infielder Munenori Kawasaki fondly for his jovial celebrations, uninhibited dance routines, and of course, serviceable work as a utility infielder.

There are a lot of memorable moments from his tenure in Toronto, many of which became viral sensations, perhaps none more so than his antics during last year's multiple champagne-fueled festivities. When the Blue Jays clinched the American League East, Kawasaki didn't hold back, revealing to Sportsnet's Barry Davis that he had a few too many drinks during post-game bash. And who could forget when after the Blue Jays clinched a post-season berth last year, Kawasaki famously declared the celebration a “bush party.”

Whatever a bush party is, Kawasaki got to experience something like it again on Tuesday night when his Chicago Cubs came back in the ninth inning of Game 4 to beat the San Francisco Giants 6-5 and book their ticket to the National League Championship Series.

Yahoo Sport’s Jeff Passan caught up briefly with Kawasaki, who he calls “the king of postseason champagne parties” during the team’s post-game party. This time around, however, Kawasaki was somewhat more reserved, telling Passan he was "not drunk." (Watch the video below to decide for yourself if he was being completely truthful).

In the brief video, Kawasaki also mentioned “two more times,” perhaps signaling the Cubs’ intention of going on to with the NLCS and then the World Series, meaning they’d have two more chances to celebrate, bush-party style, of course.
