Now many Japanese plays in MLB, but at the time Nomo started to play in MLB, it was very hard for Japanese to move to MLB. He moved to MLB getting over many difficulties. He was a pioneer for Japanese to play in MLB.
And he played very well. He was elected the Rookie of the Year in his first year. The then president of the US, Clinton (probably Clinton) praised that Nomo was the best import from Japan.
He really loved baseball. He must want to continue playing. I can't watch his play anymore. It is very pity.
Thank you for showing nice and exciting play, Nomo!
