Munenori Kawasaki gave the Cubs sweet headbands and the gift of song
We were right when we told you Munenori Kawasaki would be your new favorite Cubs player ... but we forgot one important reason. He brings presents! On Friday, he brought his new team two gifts: Japanese-style headbands and his beautiful singing voice. First, take a look at the headbands:

3 versions of headbands: No. 1, Must win, and Fighting Spirit. #Cubs

Fun fact: The headbands are called 'Hachimaki' in Japanese, which roughly translates to 'helmet-scarves,' which is without a doubt the coolest kind of scarf.
Now for the second present -- here's Kawasaki bestowing his beautiful voice upon his new team:

Yes, it's Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," which means we can all reasonably assume that the day's workouts will include animal crackers and Ben Affleck.
Here's Joe Maddon on the day's festivities:
