I’ve had a lot of teammates over the years with the Yankees, but I will always consider Hideki one of my favorites. The way he went about his business day in and day out was impressive. Despite being shadowed by a large group of reporters, having the pressures of performing for his fans both in New York and Japan and becoming acclimated to the bright lights of New York City, he always remained focused and committed to his job and to those of us he shared the clubhouse with. I have a lot of respect for Hideki. He was someone we counted on a great deal and he’s a big reason why we became World Champions in 2009.” Derek Jeter: “I’ve said it numerous times over the years, but it’s worth repeating now.

I would have been okay with him trailing off for a year or two after the WS on our team, but something tells me that wouldn't really have happened; he'd be hitting in the clutch until the last day and walk off a hero.

Lots of big home runs. Hard to believe it's been a decade since he landed here, but I remember it like it was yesterday. Very exciting acquisition. I'll never forget his apology after he got hurt, ending his consecutive game streak, and his final World Series in '09. Solid Yankee. Lots of big home runs.
