2009 championship not won without Matsui, such a clutch and likable guy.

How good that must have felt for Matsui. Such a beloved player in the organization. He really gave it all for us. They wouldn't have won 2009 without him

You can tell Yankee announcer Frank Messer was shocked by the Reggie reaction. in those days it was rare to see an opposing layer cheered like that but NY fans loved Reggie

@Fries His last season as a Yankee in 2013 was his free agency season. Yanks offered a 7 year $175 Million contract but turned it down for a 10 year $240 Million contract with Seattle. His reasoning was he wanted a longer contract. Ended up being better for the Yankees in the long term after Cano's positive PED test in '18 and again in '20. Had he taken the Yankees deal that would've been twice he tested positive for PEDs while wearing the pin-stripes. Instead it was once as a Mariner and once with the Mets

I was at the Damon Game, to this day I can't believe It happened. He really won me over.

so funny so see Damon to go from a hated Red Sox rival to a beloved ex-Yankee

How the Yankees surrounded and loved Matsui.. you can't beat that. That's baseball.

Seeing Matsui, Damon and Swisher return was heart warming. They are 3 key guys in winning the 09 championship, instrumental players for that run. Cano was great too during his 9 years in NY but honestly, screw Cano lol! Preferred a few meaningless Millions over his Yankee legacy.

Here’s hoping Judge won’t be on the next video of ex-Yankees returning to the stadium.

People have an issue with us booing Judge after a beyond atrocious postseason production, but don’t realize we applaud for the ones that contributed to our WS title. We Yankee fans can be harsh, but also show tremendous massive respect for our boys

Cried when Matsui was announced. Favorite player 🙏🏼

So cool seeing Matsui getting a warm embrace by his former teammates!

Was at a game with Alfonso Soriano back. It wasn't his first game back in NY but everyone cheered him

I miss the old Stadium. So much greatness.

I can't wait to see Anthony Rizzo come home to Wrigley for the first time since he was traded to the Yankees. You Yankee fans might hear Chicago when that place go nuts. Man, I wish I could be there.

Matsui welcome home!!!...Nice!

Nice compilation.

We have missed Godzilla for a long time

Tino Martinez was my childhood. Should’ve never left the Yankees. Tino is still the best Yankee first basemen over the last 25 years.

Matsui was so clutch.

As a player, if you were ever a Yankee, you will always be remembered as a Yankee!!!

Holy sheet, that was a bomb from Mr. October. Upper deck. 💣

I was there when Matsui came back! I was 7 years old. It was amazing!

Lmao.....had to throw Cano in there huh? This was a beautiful.

Robby didn't deserve to be booed. I have nothing but respect for his tenure. That was the first yankee youth in trenton i followed n believed in. Cano was a great baseman in new york.

For some reason I think their is a lot more former Yankees then this… off my head I remember Mike Stanley returning in 96 with the Red Sox got a standing ovation he was a popular yankee. Danny Tartabull retuning in 96 with the white sox got booed and Ruben Sierra returning a week after the Yankees traded him for Cecil Fielder in 96 homered in his first at bat back at yankee stadium. Theirs clips of these games on KZread.

Joe Girardi came back with Tino(it was one of the few games he played because he was hurt or in the minors most of that season).

Wade Bonds clip is so funny 🤣

I think the welcomes were much louder in the early 2000s-2010s because the Yankees won so much - if Stanton ever left New York and returned as a visiting player, I'm pretty sure he'd get a resounding chorus of boos.

There's also science behind it. The sound reverberated more in the old stadium because of the mezzanine. The new stadium is designed to let the noise out.

Matsui was a great playoff performer.

YOUZ ONE OF US TINO!!!!!

Where's Winfield ?

Matsui man that guy saved our fucking ass so many times good he was a gem

As a Yankees fan, this is painful to watch 😢

Robinson cano really ruined his career by not staying with the Yankees. Would have paid him top dollar. Mariners were never going to be a good place to go. They aren’t commmited to winning. Whats it with teams not wanting to win anymore?

i love matsui

2:23 Gojira! Gojira! Gojira!

Hideki got me emotional

It’s the difference between being let go by the Yankees and spurning the Yankees. Cano is now hated the the fans. Grandy got booed that day because he made some silly bitter comment about true New Yorkers being Mets fans. I think most Yankees fans are cool with Grandy these days.

You’re shit is great keep it up please

Throw in Elston Howard and Willie Randolph.

Lol - how can you even call the new Yankee Stadium/Yankee Stadium. Its like once the video flipped to NYS nobody moticed or cared with the exception of Matsui since it was a ring ceremony in opening day. The OYS had a more authentic feel of true fandom

Only if Cano wasn’t chasing the money 😕

Unbelievable that they would boo Curtis granderson. It is New York tho I guess
