Project Gulliver: Status Report, December 2005

Raji Krishnaswami

In another feat of Japanese ingenuity, Finance Minister Shingo Ando determined 3 years ago that Japan’s single most profitable export of post-Meiji Japan was New York Yankee Hideki Matsui.

Thus begun the Hideki Matsui Cloning Challenge, codenamed “Gulliver” (in recognition of Matsui’s size advantage in Japan i.e. Lilliput, and in part due to Godzilla copyright disputes). With a sample collected in the 2003 postseason, off-spring were generated and incubated in a short 2 years. As you can see from their relative size at 10 years of age, they have acquired the signature Matsui girth.

Later in the event, Matsui tearfully revealed that he is, in fact, their father.
