Hideki Matsui Returns to Yankees
August 26th, 2008
Good news, New York fans - Matsui’s back.
The hard-hitting Hideki Matsui returned to the Yankees’ roster recently after long-suffering from a sore knee. Matsui had the option of undergoing surgery to drain his knee of fluids to help it recover, but opted for rehab instead - surgery would’ve ended his season prematurely, after all, and Matsui seems like too much of a proud workaholic to let his team down that way.
Granted, maqtsui might still not see the end of the season. He’ll be played every day, training or real life games, to see how his knee holds up. What’s more, Matsui’s almost certainly finished in the outfield - the strain of having to sprint for balls would be too much. But, hey, he’ll still be around for batting, and that’s where he excels anyway.
Just hit home runs every time, Matsui, and you won’t have to worry about straining the knee much anyway. I’m sure your compatriots would be happy with that.
