Oh that crazy Hideki Matsui is such a prankster.
Hideki Matsui chuckled Thursday while recounting his big week. Yes, the Yankees slugger really did get married and win a bet with teammates Derek Jeter and Bobby Abreu at the same time.
Matsui made the wager at the start of spring training about who would wed first, then flew to New York on his off day Wednesday to get married.
Matsui said Jeter, who claimed not to have a girlfriend, has one year to get married to win the bet. Yankees outfielder Bobby Abreu, who said he has a girlfriend, has six months to win the bet.
Since Matsui said he knew six months ago he was going to get married, he was able to pull a fast one on his teammates, who both said Thursday they would play off their losses immediately.
That wasn’t anywhere near as funny as Brett Myers’ prank on teammate Kyle Kendrick earlier this spring, but the fact that it was done by Hideki Matsui is pretty hilarious.
