USMCBillsFan Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Way to go Matsui... Say what you will about the Yankees but nearly a half million from Matsui and one million pledged by the Yankees. Class all the way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matsui did this on his own in Japan and the story was on the Yankee website, not all over the AP. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonabb Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Yeah, giving money is great but posting it on your website to "show" everyone is completely another. Just a conceived marketing ploy in the face of setting the record for highest payroll ever this week! And AP will pick it up, if it hasn't already been plastered all over the NY press. Save the Yankee a$$-kissing for somewhere else. Who cares really. The Yankees are a joke and disgusting. Oh, and nice choke job in the ALCS up 3-0. Scott Norwood called, he says thanks for getting him off the hook for biggest choke. When they go on a road trip, does the starting rotation qualify for the senior coffee discount at McDonalds?

jayg Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 That's good to see. How about Michael Schumacher giving 10,000,000 of his own money. That's incredible for an individual in Pro sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 For all of those bitching about it, why not go ahead and donate some money yourself instead of finding fault in how others are doing it. If you already have, good for you. If you are trying to find fault in the Yankees doing it, you are a f-cking moron. Steven Speilburg ALWAYS donates money for such causes, but does so anonymously. For the Sunami, he donated $1.5Million and announced that he did so. Why? To get more public outcry for it, in hopes others would follow suit. Think just maaaaybe the Yanks are doing the same? Idiot Yankees fans (sorry, couldn't give you guys a free pass on this post ) are like us Bills fans: Sheep. If the Yanks do something, they may do the same. And in this case, that is fantastic.
