One man in pinstripes hit a home run on Sunday at Yankee Stadium: Hideki Matsui, who belted a David Cone pitch into the second deck inside the right-field foul pole on Old-Timers’ Day. Matsui turned 42 on Sunday, still younger than Bartolo Colon and Ichiro Suzuki. But he is not coming back to save his old team.
“I’d probably last not even one game,” Matsui said through his interpreter, Roger Kahlon. “I’d go on the D.L. as well.”
