Matsui Cheered On Yankee Return

A packed Yankee Stadium crowd lavished love on their World Series heroes on Tuesday, saving their biggest cheers for Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Hideki Matsui.

Matsui swapped jerseys during the off-season to join the Angels as a free agent.

White-gold rings were presented to every Yankee coach and player. It was then announced there was one more ring to hand out and cheers built to a deafening roar as Matsui left the visiting dugout to receive his prize.

As Matsui tipped his hat to the fans, the Yankee players who had lined up between first and second ran in and surrounded "Godzilla" in a unique reunion in the middle of the infield.
