To have a stadium that large chanting at you to hit a home run, in a return to your home country, and then actually deliver with a home run? Absolutely legendary!! Matsui was always such a clutch hitter - I miss seeing him play.
Godzilla was an iconic Yankee! I'm a Jays fan but always have the Yankees on my radar especially when the Jays are out of contention. Hoping for nothing less than a World Series victory in 2024! Respect to Yankees fans everywhere, Judge and company!
Same, same... One of the best Yankees of that period, I wish he'd get more love from the organization... I'm not saying retire 55 but give him a plaque at least
Matsui felt he betrayed his fans when he left for MLB. Well, he got stadium full of fans chanting, “Home run, Matsui❤” that’s your answer to your wonder, Hideki 🥰 We love you❤️❤️❤️❤️🩷🙏 Thank you for your hard work and allowing us to see the dream come true through you. You make all of us proud 🇯🇵
You were born just in time for the '04 ALCS meltdown lol. That did not sting nearly as much as losing the '01 WS. Nothing in my sports life hurt that bad.
@@Ffollies you know japanese culture? And what tiktok video did you gain your knowledge from sir? was it longer than a few seconds? highly doubtful. come on dude. If you dont even know the culture dont front like you know what you are saying.
I can recommend you some good literature since you are clearly a person from outside of japan. Perhaps a primer on the duties of kohai in japanese athletic culture?

@@brianc3761better than Arod any day. More class more clutch more heart more guts.
Met him twice in Trenton NJ very soft spoken guy but one of the nicest you’ll ever meet
Legendary.

Fun fact: this was hit fifteen days after I was born

@@mattes7844 yep. My pain is the last 5 postseasons lmao. I didn’t get to experience 09 so I would say my favorite season was 2019
@@mattes7844 dude…04 was 1000x worse
@@greatestnitemare6626 Not even close (subjective topic)
@@mattes7844 Yes it was. 04 ALCS was the worst Yankee loss in the history of their sports. Nothing else was worse. Nothing.
Good at bay I must say

He totally hung that curve on purpose. Prolly out of respect.
Not how it works. That would actually be disrespectful to do that on purpose. To both the game and Matsui. No way that was on purpose.
@@Ffollies you clearly don't know japanese culture lol
@@therealbs2000 No actually I do. Hanging a curve is not a sign of respect.

Matsui was a very good Yankee, but like many Asian players didnt live up to expectations
Wrong.
@@frederickgambke9427 100% he hit 50 homers a year in Japan. Nowhere near that with the Yankees
He wasn't King Kong for the Yankees.
Wrong.
