Summary of greetings from new manager Hideki Matsui Professional Baseball Giants

The gist of the Giants' new manager, Hideki Matsui, is as follows:

Matsui returns to the Giants for the first time since 2002; annual salary of 200 million yen, 3-year contract - professional baseball

He will be the Giants' manager starting next season. I played for the Giants for 10 years after graduating from high school, and I believe I have grown under the guidance of coach Shigeo Nagashima. 24 years ago, when I left the Giants of my own free will, I couldn't smile at all that day, but today I intend to return to my hometown with a big smile on my face.

I'm happy to be a part of such a great organization. I have almost no experience as a leader. I am aware that this is the weakest position among the managers of the 12 teams. I personally think that the true golden age of Giants has not come since V9. I would like to start from here today so that a new golden age will arrive.

We have a giant ideology and philosophy. Giants are always strong. I would like to create an environment where players can take to the field with confidence and a mindset that allows them to grow.

Giants are always gentlemen. I want to make sure that people think that Giants players are nice and kind, and I want to embody that.

And the Giants will catch up with and overtake American baseball. It is also true that the best baseball player in the world right now is Japanese. I would like everyone to create an environment where such players can emerge from the Giants.

I would like to help you treat everyone with love and become a shining giant. I will do my best to be a role model in everything I do. thank you.
