Synopsis
In this unique and meaningful book, Shizuka Ijuin, an award-winning author and a friend of baseball legend Hideki Matsui, profiles the beloved New York Yankee- a world-class athlete who exemplifies a quality that Ijuin believes is central to success and well-being: modesty. Hideki Matsui embodies the Eastern virtue that combines compassion and self-effacement with high achievement. Born in a northern coastal town of Japan, Matsui was a phenomenon by the time he was a teenager, playing baseball in the famous high school league tournament at the Koshien Stadium and nicknamed " the wunderkind from the North." His character was formed early on: Matsui's father once taught him not to complain about an opposing pitcher who had intentionally walked him five times in a row, for, his father asserted, the other boy was enduring something even worse. As class president and high school team captain, Matsui spoke out against verbal abuse and bullying. Turning pro with the prestigious Yomiuri Giants, Matsui became the best hitter in the league, a national hero whose feats on the field lifted fans' spirits. Matsui feared that his admirers would feel betrayed when he joined the Major Leagues in America, but instead they urged him on, asking only that he continue to make them proud. And Matsui has done exactly that, with his accomplishments and the dignified manner in which he has behaved. Matsui has set a high public standard, visiting Ground Zero soon after his arrival in the United States, sending relief money to earthquake victims and tsunami survivors, and always acting with modesty. But this book is more than an inspiring portrait of a sportsman withthe soul of a stoic modern samurai. Shizuka Ijuin explains the role modesty plays in Japanese culture, showing, for instance, how Japanese Little Leaguers start games by properly greeting their elders, thereby learning that respect is more important than scoring. Hideki Matsui: Sportsmanship, Modesty, and the Art of the Home Run is a book sure to stand the test of time, transcending sports to express a philosophy of life., In this unique and meaningful book, Shizuka Ijuin, an award-winning author and a friend of baseball legend Hideki Matsui, profiles the beloved New York Yankeea world-class athlete who exemplifies a quality that Ijuin believes is central to success and well-being: modesty.

Hideki Matsui: Sportsmanship, Modesty, and the Art of the Home Run is a book sure to stand the test of time, transcending sports to express a philosophy of life., With the full cooperation of New York Yankee Hideki Matsui, Ijuin, a close friend of the baseball superstar, explores modesty as a virtue and gives insight into how the sport of baseball is perceived in Japan and how that culture nurtures their players., On May 11, 2006, Matsui ran to get to a shallow line drive that Mark Loretta of the Red Sox hit into left field. It was a catch Matsui should have made easily, sliding into it with his glove extended toward the ball. But the smooth grass of left field was slightly damp from rain, and as Matsui held out his glove, it turned dramatically in the opposite direction, fracturing his wrist. Matsui's consecutive game streak came to an end. But what received the most attention wasn't the fact that he sustained an injury or snapped his streak. It was the determination with which he finished the play: With his left wrist broken, he still got the ball in his glove and, crawling on the grass, managed to throw the ball in with his right hand. As I watched this in amazement, I realized that it epitomized how valuable Matsui is as a player. Book jacket.
