hideki_porn-1.jpgYesterday we reported on Yankees outfielder Hideki Matsui’s recent nuptials and the odd press conference he held, during which he displayed a pencil sketch of his new bride in efforts to protect her identity, and showcase his burgeoning artistic talent.

Today, the local papers have caught up, though what interests me most isn’t their coverage of the press conference, but rather this line buried in an article in the Daily News:

Matsui, also known back home for his large collection of porn films, said he and his wife have been planning their wedding for a year.

Needless to say, this called for some further digging. Evidently in ‘03 Matsui was featured in the Asian edition of Time Magazine. An excerpt:

Indeed, his only eccentricity, if it can be called that, is his extensive private library of adult videos. His refreshing ability to laugh self-deprecatingly about his porno collection, reporters say, is one reason why fans and even nonfans have taken to him so much.

So Hideki Matsui is the Porn King of Japan. Who knew?

    Coming from a guy named Chip, that’s a really funny comment. Before you make a comment like that you should have the name of a famous detective, not one half of a men’s cabaret, Chip.

      Trade Hughes, Ian, Rasner, Ponson - Go get Sabathia, AJ Burnett to go along side of Wang and Petite (who will be back to pitch in the new stadium) with the chance of Mussina being a 5th if he wants to pitch.

      I get that they were injured, and agreed that they battled and played hard. Nobody can dispute the effort, but the bottom line is a playoff spot where there for the taking and they didn't close the deal. They weren't the underdog and overmatched, they played bad baseball against teams like Pittsburgh, Washington, Florida and Chicago's backups.

      I agree completely. This year didn't feel at all like 2007. If anything it felt more like 2006 or even '99 when the team battled and battled and ultimately seemed to run out of magic fairy dust. In a lot of ways it was a proper send-off for Shea, because isn't this what the Mets do? Isn't this what the franchise is all about? The Mets aren't comfortable with success. That lead last September was just too large, the road ahead too easy, time and space threatened to collapse had the Mets not fallen on their faces. Now we can add 2008 to the pantheon of Amazin' disappointments. At least this was a group of which I can remain proud. Btw, I've found a new top rival. I hate the Phillies, but after two years in a row of this horse manure, I HATE HATE HATE the marlins.
