"Godzilla" left his old stomping grounds with more of a whimper than a bang Sunday afternoon.
Soon-to-be-ex-Yomiuri Giants slugger Hideki Matsui bid farewell to his Japanese fans without the one home run 55,000 people had hoped to witness at the Tokyo Dome.
Matsui, a free agent expected to sign with an MLB club soon, failed to connect for one of his trademark home runs for the eighth straight game Sunday against a team of major league All-Stars.
