Seinfeld: Hideki Irabu

[miguelsandoval1985]

R.I.P Hideki Irabu & R.I.P George Steinbrenner! You Two Will Be Sadly Missed.

[slapshot68]

is it time to add arod's contract to this? i hope not

[eljamo93]

Irabu was a great pitcher, but he had serious personal issues that kept him from achieving his true potential. He was the Yankee's #1 pitcher for two months! He had some terrible stretches though. Yankee's pitching coach Stottlemeyer I think his name was, said "Irabu had the best arm I've ever seen." Irabu was a great pitcher, there is no doubt about that. His depression and poor mental health left him unable to become one of the greatest Yankee's pitchers ever. Rest in peace.

@rbermea Your so right

[rbermea]

"How could you give $100 million for Dice K. Matsuzaka?!"

[rbermea]

"How could you give up $12 million for Hideki Irabu?!"

[slapshot68]

@rbermea doesnt matter the yanks won 3 titles with him on the team

[rbermea]

@slapshot68 In 98, 99, and in 2000.

[iamhungey12345]

@slapshot68

2 actually, he was traded after 1999 to the Expos.

[ElGatoLoco698]

Hideki Irabu died yesterday fom suicide. This is not a joke. He really killed himself yesterday from an apparent suicide. He didn't leave a note.

[mintedllama]

@ElGatoLoco698 he didnt have to. This is Hideki Irabu we're talkin about.

[GodRMK]

R.I.P Matsui

[jmmydvd]

Please remember Irabu's biological father is US military personnel. However, Irabu's father dissapeared before he was born and Irabu lost the US citizenship. One of the reasons he came to MLB was that Irabu expected to meet his biological father. Also he wanted to be "American" as his root.

RIP Irabu

R.I.P. Hideki Irabu....

[Dolomite78]

I love Jerry Stiller is is a funny bastard. He's the reason i started watching the King of Queens.

[DK3CHAMP]

Definitely a weird video for people to leave RIP statement to Irabu.

[joemax222]

rip hideki, they never should have traded you

[iamhungey12345]

@joemax222

No offense but he stunk.

I know what happened is tragic but don't get too carried away here.

[joemax222]

@iamhungey12345 lol he was terrible, but only wanted to play for the Yankees right? just a little semi-joke ;)

[iamhungey12345]

@joemax222

He did have a great arm, too bad he could never really get it together. Then again aside from that bad Rangers game and the 1998 ticker tape parade on television, I didn't remember much about this guy.

Sad that it happened though.

[AmericanRattlesnake]

LOL is it true Steinbrenner called Hideki a " Fat Pussy Toad" wtf??

[arielv198]

@AmericanRattlesnake no he called him a fat load

[babbittd1976]

@arielv198 no he called him a Fat Toad

[sullybaseball]

Rest in peace Hideki

[ismokeot420420]

[kascnef82]

@thepistonsfan according to the Japanese press, hideki irabu apparently hanged himself to death. What a shame...he was a great 90's yankees player.

[notyoursavior78]

Frank Costanza is one of the best characters ever!

[DCSTUBZ]

they don't show this in syndication? why?

[jsizzle456]

[chicksdigmizunos98]

[Cnice76]

@chicksdigmizunos98 yeah he was more like the Japanese Kei Igawa. Oh wait, Nevermind!

[slapshot68]

how bout a 15 yr contract to rip dipetro

[rko815]

I always thought it looked like Uncle Leo was laughing in this scene. Maybe he really was snd they just left it in. I could not have kept a straight face.

[jmpowers83]

Yeah, Hideki Irabu DID suck.

[awruf]

Frank isn't a big Steinbrenner fan hahah

[RedSux6]

R.I.P george you will be missed, go Yankees!!!!!#28 on the way

[prodigalsunscreen]

"fat pussy toad"

RIP Boss

[A2Z83]

R.I.P.

[cfamick]

The funny thing about this is the night this episode aired, Irabu had one of the best games of his career.

[NYYROCK]

@cfamick thats ironic haha

[Molorange]

Rip George

[thunderstruck665]

HA! Hideki Irabu DID suck! He was totally useless!

[forexrobots212]

@thunderstruck665 They must have thought he would he another Hideo Nomo.

[FlyinLion1984]

RIP BIG STEIN!

[FYTYTY]

Oh my god Frank is too awesome

[rifledude28]

stienbrenners just to funny

[spinklevic]

like a big...JUICY...STEAK

[KusMoGX]

How did you give 26 million dollars to KEI IGAWA?!

[slapshot68]

@KusMoGX add aj burnett for 80 million

[cowabungadoug]

@slapshot68

yeah, its not like he helpd pitch the team to its 27th title or anything....

/sarc off

[junkie4vids]

I recently read that Hideki Irabu recently retired after pitching in a low-level Japanese baseball league (not the top Japanese major leagues). The Yankees were fortunate to have the better Hideki - Hideki Matsui - to help them win the World Series in 2009.

[flawlessxxxx]

LOL i can watch this all day. Jerry Stiller is a legend! Seinfeld/King of Queens, simply amazing shows.

[dfbhcf]

It sucks that they cut this bit out in syndication.

[Cnice76]

@dfbhcf maybe it's cuz of his passing? RIP George Steinbrenner

[foccha]

@dfbhcf Was that in America? Cos I'm from Australia and my parents recorded this on VCR when it first aired and they kept this in.

[dfbhcf]

@foccha When the episode first aired it was unedited. They cut out some parts of the episode after it first aired for syndication, including this one.

[nbaustin]

Does anyone have the video scene the guy getting car jacked. I believe it was the LAST episode. All four of the cast members were prosecuted because they did not assist this fellow being car jacked. I would love to see it. Thank you!

[purpsmoka]

Thanks for the upload
