For having the career he had and being the pioneer for japanese in mlb the hard way, and being so successful anyways, even through injuries and the fact that asshole american media doesn't give him any of the credit he deserves in america, he is easily a Hall of Famer in my opinion. Forget his statistically awful seasons. By that time his fastball wasn't as strong. Legend.

[billyjoebutthed111]

He managed to win his 200th game combined Japan-MLB in 2005 with Tampa Bay. That statistic put him into the meikyukai, 1 of 2 Japanese hall of fames, though a don't know if he has accepted membership at this point. Nomo is regarded as a pioneer that led other Japanese who wanted to go play overseas to do so. In case people want some proof that Nomo was really great there is a video on youtube with Nomo and Michael Jordan in 1995 or 1996 and Jordan is very happy to meet him.

people talking bad about him are idiots who don't know baseball. injuries hurt him during his career but he still managed to pitch effectively after leaving japan to pitch in mlb, and then after leaving the dodgers in 1997. all MLB players during his time have nothing but great things to say about him. he was getting the greatest MLB hitters out for 5 years in Japan before dominating in america. he sacrificed his career and fame in japan to come here because his new manager was ruining his arm.

he had an ERA of 0 in spring training with the royals and he led them in strikeouts i would think they would have given this great competitor a bit more time. yeah he was out of shape but he could still pitch. and it wasn't like the royals were going anywhere anyways.

[maggotsretards]

man i wish he was still pitching he is my favorite pitcher in little league i try to use his delivery

[sh0t0kan]

sh00ter900 shut up if he wasnt good to you why are you looking him up and making comments about him, idiot

[sh00ter900]

y did u make a big deal about him lol??? he wasnt great

[21TH21]

He threw no hitters in both the national and american league, fucking idiot.

[sh00ter900]

dude ur a fucking tard....a lot of pitchers have thrown no hitters and havent been considered great...so think it over next time before u make another idiot fucking remark

[21TH21]

you're one to talk about stupid remarks. Throwing one no hitter is an awesome feat, but to throw two is pretty much unheard of. Think of who else has thrown multiple no hitters. Some huge names come to mind...ever heard of NOLAN RYAN, CY YOUNG, ADDIE JOSS, JOHNNY VANDER MEER, BOB FELLER, ALLIE REYNOLDS, VIRGIL TRUCKS, WARREN SPAHN, SANDY KOUFAX, BOB FORSCH, RANDY JOHNSON?? Those sound like pretty big names to me, buddy.

[sh00ter900]

ok dude.......david wells has thrown a no hitter and hes not considerd great...david cone has thrown a no hitter and is not considered great...hideo nomo threw 2...woopty fucking doo...he ain gunna be in the hall of fame..hes just goin to recognized as a little bit above average chink pitcher

[21TH21]

haha i just knew you would turn this into a race issue. Keep in mind you just named two people that threw ONE no hitter, not two. To tell the truth, one no hitter could be a fluke, which is why people like wells and cone did throw one, and people like bucholz and lester did too, even though they arent/will not be great. Nomo did and still is revolutionizing the way japanese pitchers and players are portrayed in the mlb.

[sh00ter900]

ok im done arguing with you...u are a know nothing piece of shit...and great he threw 2 no hitters..he still will not be in hof and i can still think of a million other pitchers that havnt even thrown no hitters that are better then him...so just shut the fuck up.

[foreverblkeyed]

ill never forget his no-hitter is boston.

[pdx369]

He was playing for the Royals - isn't that the same as being retired?

[sh00ter900]

lmfao!!!!

I hope this is satire.
