Hideo Nomo
野茂英雄
Hideo "The Tornado" Nomo
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 220 lbs.
Born: August 31, 1968 in Osaka, Japan
Nicknamed "The Tornado"
with his unorthodox windup, Nomo took baseball by storm in 1995. Nomomania
continued for years wherever Nomo went until more players from Japan were
heading over to the Major League. In his first career start for the Red
Sox on the 2001 opening day, Nomo recorded his 2nd career no-hitter, and he become only
one of five pitchers to ever throw a no-no in both AL and NL. In 2005, Nomo
recorded his 200th career professional win (US/Japan combined) with the Devil Rays
and after everyone thought he was finished, he made a comeback with the
Royals in 2008, albeit only for three games. Pictured here is his 1996 Upper Deck Collector's
Choice International Flavor card during his first tenure with the Dodgers.
That year Nomo pitched a no-hitter in hitter friendly Coors' Field, and he
is still the only pitcher to have achieve that amazing feat.
