  Hideo Nomo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hideo Nomo (born August 31, 1968) is a right-handed pitcher who has achieved success both in Japan and the United States.
Nomo only dropped slightly in 1996 as he had another fine season, which was capped by a no-hitter in the unlikeliest of places, Denver's Coors Field, a park which is essentially a pitcher's hell due to its high elevation.
Nomo signed with the Boston Red Sox in 2001 and had a decent season again, but it started off with a bang, as he threw his second no-hitter in his Sox debut against the Baltimore Orioles.

A wet pitching mound, from a two hour rain delay before the game, caused Hideo Nomo to abandon his tornado-like wind-up after the first inning and pitch the rest of the game from a stretch motion!
