Yaaahhh!!! Godzilla Rules!!!

didn't know that this Matsui guy was a national hero.... never heard of him......don't think many people have heard of him either...

This story is not only a triumph in sports, but a victory against racism. The feelings of the racists have not vanished, but at least they are respectfully quiet. In another 45 years, I pray we will be celebrating similar victories between Jews, Moslems, and Christians.

Murakami-san is absolutely correct. In WWII, we were brothers who fought. But like true brothers, we made up and are now best friends.

I'm proud of Matsui-san and his achievements, whether is he is Japanese or American. He is an excellent baseball player and deserved to be the World Series' MVP.

SO RESPECTFUL TO MATSUI, HERO!!!!!!!

When will the World Series truly become a World Series

I noticed that after living in Japan for one year that baseball was a very much loved sport. I enjoyed watching the games and the enthusiasm of the fans...I loved watching Hideki Matsui during the world series and am overjoyed that he earned and won the MVP.

Hey, what about Hideo Nomo? I think deserves a lot of credit too! As the Japanese sensation in 1995, a lot of new guys wouldn't even have the big $$$ if it weren't for him.

A fantastic achievement. Deserved and in an era of individual acclaim and individual pursuits it is refreshing to find a man the flourishes in a team environment. Excellence has no barriers!

I always thought that however playful it may have seem–that it was awful that Yankee fans and MLB fans called Hideki Matsui "Monster"–of course after Godzilla. To me it seems as a subtle slight.

But Now.

Hail to the heroes. Masanori Murakami and "Monster No more"–Mr. Hideki "MVP" Matsui.

Matsui is a humble gentleman and a great player. He deserves to be recognized as Murakami should be. We, as Americans, should be honored that atheletes from central America, the Med. and Japan love American baseball enough to make it their sport and to work hard enough to become pro's. Sports should be colorless and just "play ball !!"

Matsui was one of the players I loved to watch during the World Series and to see him win MVP was amazing. Not only this, but to have him in line with Matsuzaka and Sazuki, who are my favorite basbeball players, is amazing.

Actually my ideas and fact go back to Japan while serving in the USASA
and watching those Japanese Players in the 1950's. The one name that
has always stood out was INAO, the great pitcher. Actually the US would
sent teams with the likes of Mays, Musial etc. and the Japanese were
far superior in all aspects of the game. My word for them is GREATEST!

You know, I don't see how the overall winner of MLB's top prize can be considered the World Champs, or why it is even called the World Series. In order to be considered the Champions of the World, don't you first have to beat teams from other parts of the World? Just saying.
