Bye bye Hideki & Johnny
Hideki Matsui & Johnny Damon, two Yankees I liked, are gone. Hideki signed with the [Anaheim] Angels. Johnny will find work somewhere, if not at the price he wanted from the Yanks. He accepted his rejection magnanimously. He has his second World Series ring. Hideki takes with him his translators & more Japanese sports writers than New York newspapers had covering the Yanks. If his career in Japan is included, Hideki is a Hall of Famer.
