シーン 1
And up the middle, that's a leadoff
base hit. The 2-1 pitch to
Matsui, and he waits on it, and
grounds a base hit through the
right side, a single — he's hit a lot of balls
hard, this Yankee hitter, this
postseason. There's a shot into
right, back at the wall. Two-one,
New York. Here's Matsui, now
batting fourth tonight. Here's a
fly ball, well hit to left, off
the bat of Matsui, and it's gone! A
pinch-hit home run for Hideki
Matsui's on second, and a ground ball,
base hit to left field, going to
third is Posada. And now the
tying run. First pitch to Matsui,
two-strike pitch. Rodriguez swings, and a
fly ball into right, down the
line. Nothing, New York. And a
line drive into center, a base
hit. He scores! Here comes
the ball, he touches the bag, and the
throw is cut off. One, New
York, one. That's Matsui. The
3-1 pitch is hit in the
air, into right-center field,
back at the wall. It's off the
wall, and he scores! To even
things up, the ball gets away from Werth, and he'll
score. It's Rodriguez, two more, and
it's seven to one. I am very
proud that Hideki Matsui is the
MVP of the 2009 World Series,
and I offer my congratulations. He had
a wonderful series, well
deserved, on a great career. And
congratulations from Chevrolet
and all of us. Nice going.
