"Godzilla" as he is referred to by most fans, Hideki is putting up some great numbers with the New York Yankees after a very successful career with the Yomiuri Giants. A three-time MVP in the Japanese Central League (1996, 2000, and 2002), Matsui led his team into four Japan Series and winning three titles (1994, 2000 and 2002). He also made nine consecutive all-star games and led the league in home runs and RBIs three times (1998, 2000, and 2002). His single season mark for home runs was 50 in 2002, his final season in Japan. In the ten seasons he played in Japan, Matsui totaled 1268 games played, 4572 AB, 1390 hits, 901 runs, 332 home runs, 889 RBIs, a .304 batting average, and a .582 slugging percentage. Matsui is putting up sold numbers each year with the Yankees that hover around 30 home runs, 100 RBIs and a .300 batting average.
