Giving Yoenis Cespedes a proper send-off

These trades, man, they'll hurt you sometimes. It's just a game, and we're supposed to just be rooting for laundry, but sometimes a player here or there will get past the stat lines and into your system, and it absolutely sucks when the inevitability of departure -- whether due to trades or retirement -- finally arrives and you have to say goodbye. I liked Yoenis Cespedes, for reasons that went beyond mere performance, and I probably won't ever be able to really articulate why. Sometimes you just know, right, Yo?

So I wanted to give my Tiger a proper send-off, and the only way I really knew how to do that was to string together a few of my favorite Cespedes highlights, as called by Dan Dickerson, and set them to an appropriate soundtrack: "If You Wanna" by The Vaccines.
