03/27: Matsui Marriage Triggers Bet Winnings
Hideki Matsui's wedding yesterday earned Matsui $2,000 in winnings from Derek Jeter and Bobby Abreu. You see, the three of them had entered into a bet over who would get married first. Jeter received a one year handicap and Abreu received a six month handicap. Upon arriving at the clubhouse, both Jeter and Abreu were surprised by the news. But, both of them have conceded to Godzilla, saying that they won't be getting married within that time frame.
Humorously, it seems like Hideki may have been betting on what was a sure thing. "Sometimes you should have all the information before you make a bet," Joe Girardi is quoted as saying, by
Bryan Hoch. Read more from
