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.

[@jimc.goodfellas]

Man that guy was awesome, it was really fun watching those Yankees teams

[@Official_Kings_Versus]

Big facts 👍🏾💯

[@tf2529]

Jeter called Matsui one of his all time favorite teammates. A true professional.

A great Yankee, the epitome of clutch and class

[@georgerodriguez2987]

He was a great clutch hitter for the Yankees he had some great moments I loved him he was one of mines

[@Harambe691]

Hideki was soooo good in the fkn playoffs man.

[@edwardyoung522]

Godzilla was clutch!

[@jmluc90]

He was already a legend here in Japan before he went to the MLB

[@brandonyankees1]

Those Yankee teams from 01 to 07 should have had 1 more world series

[@Surfer041]

Should have had 5 more.

[@RobHollanderMusic]

Godzilla was a monster - the best kind. He owned the 2009 Series.

[@patricktolbert4484]

And he didn’t even start 3 of the games which is even more insane

[@inutero10]

Loved me some matsui

[@kam99_]

A thrilla by Godzilla!!!!

[@user-tz9jh6pv2j]

World Series is just the HR derby for Godzilla

[@MegaSwaggaKing]

If it wasn’t for Papi he would have won 04 LCS MVP

[@vladiator8120]

If it wasn't for a Roided Papi that is.

[@ciello___8307]

he absolutely Owned Pedro

[@Lantuak]

who's your daddy xD

[@2paz269]

Correction: he owned washed pedro No one owned peak pedro

[@Ffollies]

@@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]

@@Ffollies sure...i'll give you that. :) so it proves...what?

[@Ffollies]

@@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.

GODZILLA

[@Surfer041]

I'll take Hideki over Arod in a big spot every time.

[@meltednostrilsbornwithoutn781]

Of course.

[@meltednostrilsbornwithoutn781]

@Lighthouse in the Storm yeah he had one good post season. And Matsui was World Series MVP that same year...... what's your point?

[@sportsfantastic361]

Only real yankees fan kno abt my man

[@J.Carter540]

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

[@therealchucktaylor3392]

Seems like Sheffield was always on base ahead of Matsui!

[@meltednostrilsbornwithoutn781]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheKingSource]

Matsui was GONEzilla not Gidzilla. People need to get this right!

[@kpsjamaicaestates1653]

[@davidm9653]

If Matsui started his career with the Yankees ,easy number retired and HOF

[@viemarch3516]

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.

He always came up in big moments. A truth Yankees!!

[@grandmizuho]

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。

[@RenegadeX28]

Matsui gave me Ichiro vibes. He showed and did his job everytime. Matsui during the 2009 World Series was amazing.

[@brandonyankees1]

He was ichiro with more power less speed

[@viemarch3516]

@@brandonyankees1 and a much worse fielder

[@hunterlewis93]

@@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.

[@meltednostrilsbornwithoutn781]

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.

yay i got first like i like how it takes you back to like 80s

[@conpop6924]

What? Matsui played for the yankees in the 2000s

[@SportsCenter27]

@@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
