Japan’s Matsui capped World Series MVP
November 5, 2009 | Posted by benjie 
MVP! MVP! MVP! These were the chants that bounced around the ball park of the new Yankees’ Stadium on the seventh inning in game 6 as Hideki Matsui came to bat. True indeed, he tied Bobby Richardson’s 1960 record for RBIs in a World Series game as he led the New York Yankees to its 27th Title.

Hideki became the first Japanese to win the World Series MVP trophy. Nicknamed “godzilla” back in Japan, the 35 year old Hitter overcame the tough season battling through bad knees. As the whole city of New York celebrates the victory, Matsui has drawn a lot of admiration in his native country including the legendary Masanori Murakami, the first Japanese who played in the Major League Baseball for the San Francisco Giants back in 1964.
