H. Matsui as a High-School Player

I was trying to search some video footages in the youtube the other day for some historical videos about Hideki Matsui. I came across a trivia about him as a high school player. During Japanese High School Baseball Series in 1992, Matsui got consecutive 5 intentional walks, which is a record of the series. Matsui's team (Seiryo High) lost by 2-3.

The first video shows all 5 IBBs include some angry fans throwing stuff into the field.

The second video shows Matsui stole second at 9th and some after-game footage.

JEEZ!!

Matsui had a legion of reporters following him around in high school. Unreal. The man is like Babe Ruth to them.

I think it was like a high-school world series...

I cant imagine all high-school games this packed.

I lived in Japan...

And while high school games aren’t generally this packed, it’s normal for them to have 500+ in attendance. Little League games out there get 100 every game, they LOVE this game.
