Gerardo Parra is taking “Baby Shark” on an international tour.
The Yomiuri Giants, a Nippon Professional Baseball team based in Tokyo, announced that they signed Parra, ending the Venezuelan outfielder’s brief but unforgettable stay with the Washington Nationals.
Parra joined the Nationals in early May of 2019 after being waived by the San Francisco Giants. He was widely credited by his teammates and manager Dave Martinez for injecting a more fun and carefree attitude to the clubhouse culture while the Nationals were coping with a dismal 19-31 start.
A few weeks after arriving in Washington, Parra wanted to change his walk-up music.
