Hideo Nomo officially retires - The Postgame Pub

Hideo Nomo announced his retirement on Thursday.

"I want to continue, but I don't think I can deliver a professional-level performance anymore. I believe many clubs think the same way," Nomo told Kyodo News. And he's right. Nomo finished 123-109, with a 4.24 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. He threw two no-hitters and paved the way for the influx in Japanese talent over the past decade.

Yeah I remember when he first came in the league. One of the first big Japenese stars. Played for my Dodgers too! I loved him. Class act. He will be missed.
