Matsui's Grand Slam at the Yankees' home opener in 2003 was his introduction....his HR & 6 RBI in the clinching game of the 2009 World Series was his swan song.
@@brandonyankees1 Ichiro would have a lot more HR if he tried to hit home runs. Ichiro is a top hitter of all time. Love Hideki but shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence as Ichiro.
Nah, you're obviously only comparing the two because of Race. NO PLAYER in MAJOR LEAGUE history had Ichiro vibes or did things Ichiro did...... literally.
@@2paz269 Matsui in 2009 wasn't exactly in his prime either. That's why the Yankees let him go. I believe he and Pedro are only a couple years apart in age.
@@2paz269 Doesn't prove anything but just saying they were BOTH past their prime. It's not like they're different people just because they're not in their prime.
Duhhh, this is quite a bad video. Here are some other game-tying or game-winning hits of Matsui in postseason: 2-run home run in gm3 2003 ALDS RBI ground-rule double in gm4 2003 ALDS RBI ground-rule double in gm3 2003 ALCS Double off Pedro Martinez in the 8th inning of gm7 2003 ALCS, then scored the tying run on Posada's double Walk-off sac fly in gm2 2004 ALDS Two game-tying plays in gm4 2004 ALDS RBI singles in gm1 2009 ALCS Game tying single in gm6 2009 ALCS His 2-RBI single in the 3rd inning of gm6 2009 WS was the actual series-clinching hit yet it's omitted for the double in this video, weird.

Godzilla was a monster - the best kind. He owned the 2009 Series.
And he didn’t even start 3 of the games which is even more insane
Jeter called Matsui one of his all time favorite teammates. A true professional.
He always came up in big moments. A truth Yankees!!
Hideki was soooo good in the fkn playoffs man.
Man that guy was awesome, it was really fun watching those Yankees teams
Big facts 👍🏾💯
He was a great clutch hitter for the Yankees he had some great moments I loved him he was one of mines
A great Yankee, the epitome of clutch and class
I love hideki matsui godzilla hall of famer in my book thank u for all the great memories and 2009 world series title ily matsuilong live godzilla
💯❤
Godzilla was clutch!
He was already a legend here in Japan before he went to the MLB
Matsui gave me Ichiro vibes. He showed and did his job everytime. Matsui during the 2009 World Series was amazing.
He was ichiro with more power less speed
@@brandonyankees1 and a much worse fielder

@@brandonyankees1 Nah you obviously don't know anything about baseball.
Those Yankee teams from 01 to 07 should have had 1 more world series
Should have had 5 more.
Loved me some matsui
A thrilla by Godzilla!!!!
World Series is just the HR derby for Godzilla
he absolutely Owned Pedro
who's your daddy xD
Correction: he owned washed pedro
No one owned peak pedro

If it wasn’t for Papi he would have won 04 LCS MVP
If it wasn't for a Roided Papi that is.
Gary Sheffield?
Only real yankees fan kno abt my man
These highlights are amazing. Any way you could do Jason Giambi hitting bombs with both A's and yankees? Just reminiscing of my childhood heroes
I'll take Hideki over Arod in a big spot every time.
Of course.
@Lighthouse in the Storm yeah he had one good post season. And Matsui was World Series MVP that same year...... what's your point?
I can still remember him walking out to go go godzilla. Im not from new york so i never got to see it live but i bet it was electric
Seems like Sheffield was always on base ahead of Matsui!
GODZILLA
you are missing the double in game 7
松井は暴れ出したら手がつけられない。間違いなく2009WSのときは正真正銘松井はGODZILLAだった。
❤️❤️❤️❤️
💯🔥
yay i got first like
i like how it takes you back to like 80s
What? Matsui played for the yankees in the 2000s
@@conpop6924 i know, im just saying an example like if MLB Vault were to upload a video again it could be in the 70s or 80s or something like that
@@SportsCenter27 or the '90s 👍🏾
Un salvaje
Matsui was GONEzilla not Gidzilla. People need to get this right!
If Matsui started his career with the Yankees ,easy number retired and HOF
Godzilla vs emperor
