Some big things are happening as the Yankees await their first regular season game on Monday. Here are the headlines:

•  Hideki Matsui has tied the knot! He got married in a small wedding in New York to an unidentified Japanese woman. He didn’t reveal her identity, but he did have a sketch (yes, you read right, a sketch) of her. He said that he was introduced to her by some friends after the 2006 season. With his marriage Matsui looks like he will win the bet between him, Jeter, and Abreu on who would get married first. According to the rules of the bet Jeter still have a year to get married since he is single and Abreu has 6 months, but both have said that they are just going to pay Matsui right now.
• Also today, Legends Field was officially renamed to George M. Steinbrenner Field.  He made an appearance to the field in Tampa today, along with his wife to accept the honor.
• In other news, the Yankees lost to the Pirates today, 5-2. Derek Jeter and Nick Green both hit solo shots, making up the Yankees’ score. Kei Igawa was the starter, pitching 3 1/3 innings and allowing 5 hits and 4 runs. He took the loss, but he’s used to that.
• The last two games of spring training are against the Marlins tomorrow (7:10 EST) and Saturday (6:10 EST). After that, it is the first regular season game on Monday against the Blue Jays (1:05 EST); I for one can’t wait for that.
