how could you forget ?? Bro was on absolute monster in 09'. Batted .350 with almost a 1.150 OPS that postseason if I recall. And over .600 BA in the WS. Truly different
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
Matsui was a MONSTER in that 2009 WS he single handedly won that championship 27 for the Yankees in the most dominated Yankee in my lifetime... But Johnny Damon the only one that is beloved by both Red Sox Nation and Yankee Fans that's a rare W
@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 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.
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.
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
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 UA-cam.
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.
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?
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.
Not really odd. Cano left the Yankees for a poverty franchise and the money in his prime. Damon, Swisher, Granderson, and Matsui all left cause the team phased them out given it was the end of their careers.
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
If he walks, he’ll get the Cano treatment. Robinson Cano was supposed to be a face of the franchise player and he walked. Judge will either be able to eat for free in the tri-state area for the rest of his life or be reviled lol
Man seeing the old replays of sports center really makes me miss the old espn
When they weren’t political.
@@robertosantos-vx6pn sports was always political…
@@robertosantos-vx6pn facts. ESPN tanked in ratings because of it. Only the select few pay big bucks to watch ESPN on a regular basis anymore.
Big time. Everyone agrees with that. Only way to change it is the ballot box. But that isn't even safe anymore.
Chris Berman FTW
I forgot Matsui won MVP of 2009 world series. Thats a magnificent accomplishment
They better give us a damn Matsui for the Tekashi series.
GODZILLA WAS A MONSTER ... no he really won the MVP only plaing DH ... only other to do that was david ortiz
how could you forget ?? Bro was on absolute monster in 09'. Batted .350 with almost a 1.150 OPS that postseason if I recall. And over .600 BA in the WS. Truly different
Great Player one of my top 10 Yankees of all time
@@GavinOCo
I'm ashamed. It was so sad when he injured his wrist but I guess thats what happens when you leave it all on the field.
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
Him and A Rod
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
One of the very few times Steinbrenner f@ked up, he probably wanted to fire himself
@@slapshot68 yeah but he recovered and re-hired him in our front office and Reg once again became a lifelong Yank.🗽
I was at the Damon Game, to this day I can't believe It happened. He really won me over.
Even I just got emotional with Matsui. Dude gave it his all.
I remember that series. The man was swinging for the fence every single time he stepped to the plate.
How the Yankees surrounded and loved Matsui.. you can't beat that. That's baseball.
I miss the old Stadium. So much greatness.
So cool seeing Matsui getting a warm embrace by his former teammates!
Cried when Matsui was announced. Favorite player 🙏🏼
Was at a game with Alfonso Soriano back. It wasn't his first game back in NY but everyone cheered him
We have missed Godzilla for a long time
Matsui was a MONSTER in that 2009 WS he single handedly won that championship 27 for the Yankees in the most dominated Yankee in my lifetime...
But Johnny Damon the only one that is beloved by both Red Sox Nation and Yankee Fans that's a rare W
If Robinson Cano had a more smooth exit, he would’ve gotten a better ovation.
Exit matters as much or more than what you did as a player.
So is A- Fraud.
Cano was a dog never hustled !
@@ernestpassaro9663 pathetically lazy.

Matsui welcome home!!!...Nice!
so funny so see Damon to go from a hated Red Sox rival to a beloved ex-Yankee
dude this brings back some feelings.
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.
Might be my favorite video on the internet
Johnny Damon had the Mohawk before it was fashionable in Baseball. A man ahead of his time!
Matsui is the most underrated Yankee of all time
At this point it’s jeter lol
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.
Very cool video, thank you so much!!!!!
Nice compilation.
One by one, all of our WS heroes faded :’/
wish gardy got a better exit sad what happened to him …
Happens quickly when the Yankees haven't won since 09
Tino Martinez was my childhood. Should’ve never left the Yankees. Tino is still the best Yankee first basemen over the last 25 years.
I was there when Matsui came back! I was 7 years old. It was amazing!
As a player, if you were ever a Yankee, you will always be remembered as a Yankee!!!
Matsui was so clutch.
They could never make me boo Robbie. Loved him then, love him now.
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
Holy sheet, that was a bomb from Mr. October. Upper deck. 💣

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).
Matsui was a great playoff performer.
Wade Bonds clip is so funny 🤣
Lmao.....had to throw Cano in there huh? This was a beautiful.
The Tino Martinez game got me. I hated to see him leave.
Matsui man that guy saved our fucking ass so many times good he was a gem
Here’s hoping Judge won’t be on the next video of ex-Yankees returning to the stadium.
Once a Yankee always a Yankee......
the most bullshit quote ever
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.
He’s the most clutch and best player on the Yankees during the playoffs, you must be on something 😹😹
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.
Where's Winfield ?
YOUZ ONE OF US TINO!!!!!
What the hell did I got so emotional !!🥺🥺🥺
I can't believe Guidry hung that slider to Reggie.
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?
As a Yankees fan, this is painful to watch 😢
I definitely forgot about Tino and the Cardinals
oh that just looks completely wrong seeing coney in a red sux uniform
as does godzilla looks wrong in another uniform
Ese japonés Vale plata... jugadorazo
sad seeing nick swisher on another team he was a great guy and player
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.
Do the braves next
Here in Europe when a footballer player returns for a game at his former team grounds, they are not (always) treated with respect.
Yeah nobody cares pal.
Giambi played for the A’s again?
i love matsui
2:23 Gojira! Gojira! Gojira!
2:12 replaced him with Nick Johnson. Boy cashman has been a awful GM since their last World Series.
I had to look him up to remember who he was lmao
To be fair, at the time Nick Johnson was one of baseballs top prospects
Hideki got me emotional
I'm so upset they didn't keep Matsui
Back when ESPN was good
Cano deserved the boos.
You get one cheer and then affectionate boos, as long as you left on good terms
You’re shit is great keep it up please
Throw in Elston Howard and Willie Randolph.
Why was robbie Canoe boo'ed?
Odd how the only booed player is Cano.
Not really odd. Cano left the Yankees for a poverty franchise and the money in his prime. Damon, Swisher, Granderson, and Matsui all left cause the team phased them out given it was the end of their careers.
Exactly.
0:49 Yankee fans cheering a Red Sox player? Damn what world did we live in?
Andrew Velasquez when he returns to Yankees stadium
No alfonso soriano?? 🤷🏿♂️
Define irony.....
Yankee fans booing a player for taking more money and leaving. 😂😂
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
After Cano left the Yankees, it feels like he fell off the face of the earth. A shame :/
yankees should have never let Matsui leave to another team
Wonder what he said at 3:27 to piss the girl off lmao
So f ed up that World Series mvp couldn’t get a 10 million contract from the Yankees like wtf
No Ellsbury? Worst signing in MLB history.🤮
I forgot cone went to Boston. Once a yankee always a yankee
Godzilla or Gojira!!
Wait till the ovation Judge gets after they win the WS and he walks.
If he walks, he’ll get the Cano treatment. Robinson Cano was supposed to be a face of the franchise player and he walked. Judge will either be able to eat for free in the tri-state area for the rest of his life or be reviled lol
not a big yankee fan, but talk about drama
Robinson Cano was never a clutch anyway.
LoL how all the fans clap and cheer for the White ex players “ including Matsuit “ but those of Color omg….
Wow I forgot matusi was even a Yankee
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
