Museum dedicated to slugger Matsui opens doors to public:

A museum exhibiting some 1,000 items related to New York Yankees slugger Hideki Matsui opened here on Thursday.

About 500 fans had lined up at the Hideki Matsui Baseball Museum in Nomi before it opened to the public at 9:30 a.m.

As the article notes, this is the second museum dedicated to Hideki. His parents opened one 11 years ago, but it is now too small.
