Talk:Hideki Matsui

message: I don't know how to properly type out the pronunciation of his family name. Syllabically, it's ma-tsu-i, not mat-soo-i. I know that's how the American sportcasters pronounce it, but they are wrong. --Feitclub 06:32, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
:You must not be from New York. Michael Kay always pronounces it correctly.

message: Hideki Matsui was born in Komatsu. I've been to the museum.  (anonymous)
:Kind of splitting hairs at this point, but according to the museum website (which is located in Nomi) he was born in Neagari, which merged with neighboring towns to become Nomi.  His birthplace is variously listed as Komatsu (the neighboring larger town), Kanazawa (the nearest big city), and Ishikawa (the prefecture).  I don't know exactly which hospital he was born at, but he birthplace is usually listed as Neagari, where his parents lived at and still remain.  When you pass Neagari by train there's a huge billboard that says "birthplace of Hideki Matsui"  Japanese Wikipedia lists his hometown as Neagari too.  Anyone begging to differ will surely suffer the wrath of Neagarians...they are REALLY proud of him (it's a small town). Ken6en 06:10, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

message: There is one argument for its being relevant. Look at the standings: The appropriately-named "Yank-me" ball club is 8 games back of the Red Sox and continuing to flirt with last place. So far, the Bombers are playing like a bunch of jerk-offs. And that's where the possible relevance of Matsui and his alleged traveling porn collection come in, don'cha know.

message: Does Matsui speak English? I used to assume he did, but then saw an article mention that he was using a translator to talk about whatever the article was about (I can't remember). Anybody know if he speaks English, or does speak some but not fluently enough and thus requires a translator at times? -albrozdude 22:48, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the Trivia section from the article, based on the guidance at WP:BLP#Trivia sections.  The section is copied below, if anyone wants to try making any of it relevant, and weaving it into the rest of the article. Neier 23:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia removed from article 

message: The article states that Matsui's nickname was earned in Japan due to hitting power, but then cites a source that states, "But like the misunderstood monster Godzilla, whose coarse complexion prompted Matsui's nickname as a youngster, the left-handed power hitter has created a reputation for leaving chaos in his wake."Adambkny (talk) 03:11, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The "summary box" at the right gives his total career statistics in MLB in America. it should also list his career statistics for Japanese baseball, also in my opinion. Totally different leagues, statistics should not be added together, but the Japanese Statistics should also be listed.
