What a series Hideki Matsui had for the New York Yankees and he didn’t even start every game. What I realized about Hideki Matsui is that he was the best player in Japan. He showed why he was the best on Wednesday night. While watching the game, I was thinking, you know, I bet a [...]

It was not quite Grady Little, but it was close. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel left Pedro Martinez in Game 6 last night to face Hideki Matsui in the third inning despite the fact that Matsui had already homered off Martinez. And despite the fac...
