Godzilla files for free agency, plans to resurface in U.S.:
Hideki "Godzilla" Matsui of the Yomiuri Giants, Japanese pro baseball's leading slugger and the guy American scouts wanted before settling for Ichiro as the first J'ese non-pitcher in (modern era) MLB, has decided to make the move after all. Fresh off a Japan Series sweep and a great year at the plate (.334, 50 HR, 107 RBI in 130 game season), the 28-year-old is getting attention from the Yankees.

I also went looking for a Zane Smith foto, but only found that one and something from his university's hall of fame. Back about 1989-90 I was sports editor at my university and there was a picture of Zane Smith and another contemporary pitcher (who was it???) over the sports desk with the caption, "Are you a Hatfield or a McCoy?" If anyone knows Jim Barrero at the L.A. Times, I think he pasted up the picture. Smith looked like the worst kind of inbred hillbilly.
