Matsui Hideki at Bat With the World Series MVP award under his belt, the New York Yankee and former Yomiuri Giant, Hideki Matsui is being traded to the Anaheim Angels [mlb.com]. The trade is not yet official, barring a positive outcome of a physical for the injury-prone Matsui but if all goes well for Godzilla, he will net around $6 million for a one year stint as the DH for the Angels.


Some Angels fans might wonder what exactly they might be getting with the 35 year old Japanese slugger. Ticket sales. A massive increase in ticket revenue may be in store for the Angel's near future. Matsui is still considered a baseball god in Japan and considering Angel stadium's close proximity to Disneyland, I'm sure Japanese travel agencies are already writing their ad copy for their new spring vacation package deals.
