Hideki Matsui = class

[bigboydan]

did you guys see Matsui's press release yesterday. he apologized to the fans for getting hurt.

i wish more overpaid players would have some class like Matsui has.

[pags11]

he really is a class act...I still have a tough time watching the replay of him getting hurt...

[BuddyBear]

plays hard that's for sure....

[Illusion]

He's nothing but a big ass kisser.

[Willie Bee]

Pure class. It's a shame he wasn't in the majors from the get-go.

He's nothing but a big ass kisser.

ILL,

those japan players have something that U.S. players don't have, and thats dedication and pride in there work.

He's nothing but a big ass kisser.

Why is that? I really think more players should be like this. If they didnt have fans, they wouldnt have paychecks. Way to many greedy players out there, that dont realize what they have.

And Dan said it right, the Japanese have dedication and respect. Something a lot of Americans lack.

[Winston Smith]

I think it's a genuine reflection of the culture he was raised in. Personal responsibility may not be high on the list of American values, but that's not necessarily a universal sentiment.
