Hideki Irabu, Briefly a Yankee Sensation, Dies at 42
By DOUGLAS MARTIN
Published: July 28, 2011

Hideki Irabu, a former Japanese baseball star who was hailed as a pitching sensation when he joined the Yankees in 1997 but who fell short of expectations, prompting an angry George Steinbrenner to label him indelibly as “a fat, pus-sy toad,” was found dead on Wednesday in the Los Angeles suburb where he lived. He was 42.
