10/27: Matsui Apologizes to Torre

Posted by: Patrick

... that Hideki Matsui personally apologized to Joe Torre after the Yankees' collapse in the division series. After batting .200 against Anaheim and making the final out in Game 5, the Japanese outfielder told the manager, "I played bad for you. I'm sorry. I hurt the team."

No shock to any Yankee fans, really. Matsui is classy.

Funny bit here:

Why didn't his knees ever give out in 19 years of catching? "I was small. I didn't have to go down too far."

Steve Lombardi notes asks if Yogi should have been the one to reveal this. I agree, he shouldn't have been. But, it's out there now...

Via Steve Lombardi.

Yeah, I don't know if he should've revealed that but that quote about him catching was a good one. :-)

I feel like I remember hearing about Matsui apologizing before... maybe when Torre was interviewed on WFAN after he decided to keep his job. I'm not sure, but this was definitely not the first I'd heard of it.
