Matsui named World Series MVP

Hideki Matsui won a well deserved World Series MVP award tonight. Matsui finished the series with a .615 batting average, 3 home runs and 8 runs batted in. Six of those runs batted in coming in game six alone. When a lot of Yankee players had their ups and downs in the series, Matsui was consistent.
Matsui will be a free agent this off season, and he really gave the Yankees something to think about. All season it was thought that the Yankees, who needed flexibility at the DH spot, would let Matsui walk. Now, that becomes a much tougher decision. I still think when all is said and done, the Yankees will make the smart business decision and let Matsui walk. It's been speculated that if Matsui doesn't stay with the Yankees that he will either return to Japan, or perhaps join Ichiro in Seattle. I hope he rides this championship back to Japan. He's had a very successful major league career. I'd hate to see him go to Seattle and toil there for a few years as his skills erode. Congratulations to Godzilla, one of the few Yankees I actually like.
