Retro Jays GIFS: Casey Janssen’s Cartwheel Pitch
He spent the last ten years in the Toronto Blue Jays organization, but like a high school kid graduating and heading off to college, Casey Janssen has officially ended his time as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays.
During his eight big league seasons with the club, Janssen developed a cult-like following and eventually blossomed into a fan favourite. But even though he signed with the Washington Nationals, we’ll always have the memories of him as a Blue Jay.
Especially this one.

Here are a couple of angles of this gravity defying pitch from Casey Janssen. After watching these GIFs, I think I have my new favourite memory of Casey Janssen.
