Hideki Matsui hired as manager of the Yomiuri Giants

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHideki Matsui is the new manager of the Yomiuri Giants, who he left twenty-five years ago for the Yankees.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe hit three hundred thirty-two home runs for them, and the Japan Times says the club has an unofficial tradition of hiring only former stars.

3. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHot take: this wasn't a search, it was a lookup. Three hundred thirty-two home runs, press enter, and there he is.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHOT. A very efficient process, and honestly, the committee deserves a nap.

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy hot take: it's the most sensible hire in baseball. Ten seasons, eight hundred eighty-nine RBIs, three MVPs. Did anyone else even apply?

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThey'd have to beat his résumé.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNOT.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChip, the interim manager finished second in the Central League, and the club's reward was a phone call to a man who left the building twenty-five years ago.

9. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOuch. That's fair.

10. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy final take is the hottest of all: the club already knows its next manager, and he's still wearing a jersey.
