Hideki Matsui Wife
Monday, July 14th, 2008
Hideki Matsui has to be one of the most interesting baseball players slugging it out in the United States these days. Not only is he one of the only Asian players to appear in the league, he’s a damn good one to boot.
But Matsui has a curious streak, and that streak only widened recently when revealed he got married. His wife is a Japanese girl in her mid 20’s, and they’d been dating for a while prior to the marriage. It seems that at least a few of his fellow ball players know her.
What else do we know?
That’s about it, actually. Nobody in the press (that the rest of us know of) has ever seen Matsui’s bride. He’s kept her a complete secret from the rest of the world, possibly to avoid the kind of intrusions that come with being the wife of an athlete.
But Matsui has been especially quirky about his wife. Not only has he not appeared in public with her, he introduced her to the press via a sketch. Yes, not a picture, a sketch on a white piece of paper.
Either Matsui has a great sense of humor, a good sense for publicity or is just plain weird. It’s possible it’s all three.
