Nomo retired from baseball (07/16/2008 )

i miss 1995. today had to come eventually :(

You gotta remember Nomo's been a pro since 1990! Theres not much interest in a 39 year old pitcher who sometimes struggles on the stretch.

One weakness that Nomo had was that he relied too much on his stuff. But he was pretty dominant in '95 and '96.

royals royally screwed nomo. his first appearance was ok he needed just one more out to go 3 scoreless innings and to finish the royals defensively for the night before the 2 HRs that was fine game was over anyways. second appearance he was ok except that he was not getting strike calls that he needed that the ump wouldn't give on like 2-0. was crap. then the 3rd appearance..he got the one out he needed with the pop up. so he pitched well. and he was on his way...SOMEONE TRADE FOR HIM HE IS GOOD

he still can pitch well i hope someone else gives him an opportunity

designated for assignment after getting what should have been the third out...what a way to get designated. he came in to get 1 out and basically got it on a fly ball and his shortstop lets the ball drop thinking he was called off. he got the next guy to hit one back to him but it turned out to be an infield hit. and then the next guy hits a 3 run HR. Nomo struck the next guy out but none of that was his fault. at least he got to face Ichiro and Hideki Matsui and he struck them both out.

the most important thing about nomo is that he has character. he perservered from being on top of the world to being kicked to the curb to coming back and being successful again to getting kicked to the curb again. now he's come back on his own terms and i'm happy for him. he can still turn it on when he's pitching

in oakland he got the third out on a popup but it was dropped. then 3 more runs scored.
