Hideki Matsui Hired as Manager of the Yomiuri Giants in Japanese Baseball
- On Friday, media reports confirmed that Yomiuri Giants legend Hideki Matsui has been appointed as the new manager of the storied franchise.
- Following the arrest of Shinnosuke Abe in late May, the Giants sought a permanent manager and hired an "outside" manager to replace interim leader Hideki Hashigami, who guided the team to a second-place Central League finish.
- Known as "Godzilla," Matsui spent 10 seasons with the club, hitting 332 home runs and recording 889 RBIs before embarking on a successful career with the New York Yankees.
- Matsui, who has lived in the United States since retiring in 2012, is now returning to Japan to lead the franchise that previously employed legendary managers like Shigeo Nagashima and Sadaharu.
- The team, eliminated by the Yokohama DeNA BayStars in the Climax Series earlier this month, has long sought to place the former MVP in the manager's chair.
