Matsui received long cherished ring

Hideki Matsui received his 2009 World Series ring from New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. And Matsui was hailed by the Yankees and the crowd in the stadium. When Matsui batted for the first time, the crowd's standing ovation was laud and lingered, causing him to stop out of the batter's box and wave his red Angels helmet twice. "I was very deeply moved," Matsui said. "It's something I will remember forever, that moment."

I watched the scene on the MLB site. It was very very cool. I think Matsui really became a hero in New York.

Matsui started out great in the season. His new team Los Angeles Angels, however, made a poor performing as of now. I hope Matsui will lead the Angels as a cleanup hitter.
