    Godzilla was a monster - the best kind. He owned the 2009 Series.

      And he didn’t even start 3 of the games which is even more insane

    Matsui's Grand Slam at the Yankees' home opener in 2003 was his introduction....his HR & 6 RBI in the clinching game of the 2009 World Series was his swan song.

    Duhhh, this is quite a bad video. Here are some other game-tying or game-winning hits of Matsui in postseason:
    2-run home run in gm3 2003 ALDS
    RBI ground-rule double in gm4 2003 ALDS
    RBI ground-rule double in gm3 2003 ALCS
    Double off Pedro Martinez in the 8th inning of gm7 2003 ALCS, then scored the tying run on Posada's double
    Walk-off sac fly in gm2 2004 ALDS
    Two game-tying plays in gm4 2004 ALDS
    RBI singles in gm1 2009 ALCS
    Game tying single in gm6 2009 ALCS
    His 2-RBI single in the 3rd inning of gm6 2009 WS was the actual series-clinching hit yet it's omitted for the double in this video, weird.
