Sometimes the stars just all line up. Taguchi (a defensive role player if ever there was one) somehow manages to hit that home run in the 9th against Billy Wagner, and the Cards go on to win the Series. It doesn't really make any sense, but that's what's great about baseball.
They let him go because they already had 5 outfielders better than him. Taguchi was a fan favorite and I loved him too, but he can't hit the way Ludwick or Ankiel or Barton or Schumaucker or even Duncan can. He's now with the Philadelphia Phillies.
is he popular in America? I live in Japan and the people and the media in Japan often treat him as a "part-time player" in Cardinals. so I am really amazed and glad to see this kinds of videos :)
This press conference perfectly captures why So Taguchi is loved in St Louis. Most humble player since Willie McGee.

@haruking78 He will always be loved here. He was a great asset to the team, always had a smile on his face.

田口はメジャーリーガーとしてまたマイナーリーガーとしてアメリカの野球を体感してきた。かれの経験は日本の有望な若手にこそ伝えられるべき。メジャーで指導者として活躍できればイチロー以上の評価をされてもいいと思う。
