No more Nomo

Congratulations to Hideo Nomo on his career. Nomo announced his retirement from professional baseball today, which makes sense considering he was no longer effective. Nomo had a pretty good career which included two no-hitters, but his greatest contribution might have come as one of the earliest Japanese players give it a try in MLB. Nomo arrived for the 1995 season and won Rookie of the Year with the Dodgers.

I cannot think of anyone else but him,
when it comes to 'K'. He did it only with fast and split-finger ball.
He was always a dream-maker for all of
us Japanese baseball fans, and
he was just amazing...
