    I first attended a game at Wrigley Field when I was 5 years old -- in...1959. This is the only no-hitter I have ever seen LIVE in all that time. I was in Culver City, CA, and watched the Dodgers' broadcast in my hotel room.
    I have recently introduced my girlfriend to baseball, and she has become a fan. I told her about having watched this game, and by a strange coincidence, the Blue Jays came from behind on this evening to beat Tampa Bay in the AL East race. I mentioned that the Blue Jays' shortstop, Bo Bichette's father, Dante, played for the Rockies and here he is batting clean-up. I have sent her the link to your beautifully constructed video to bring it all home. Thanks.

    I remember this game like it was yesterday. Best game I've ever seen in a regular season in baseball. It was against baseball's most feared lineup and the toughest team to beat in their own ballpark. Pitchers were scared to death to pitch there because no lead was safe there. I stayed up late that night so I could watch this game. The memories of 1996! 😁👍

    野茂投手は、1994年に右肩を痛めた後、ドジャースに入団し、新人王や奪三振王のタイトルを成し遂げた。
    だが、その2年前までの日本時代、日本のプロ野球でデビーした1990年〜1993年までの4年間こそが、最も全盛期の身体能力であった・・・
    日本時代の野茂投手のエピソードとして、
    皆に忘れられてしまい、もはや、このエピソードを知ってる人にあまり出会わないのだが・・・
    1994年7月1日の西武戦で先発し、1試合16与四球の日本記録を作りながらも、191球を投げて3失点完投勝利を挙げていた記憶が、当時中学生の私の脳に、恐るべきエピソードとして、深く刻まれている。
    1993年までの日本時代のコンディション、身体能力で、メジャーリーグで野球をする機会が与えられていれば、
    たとえ、ステロイド全盛期であった、メジャーリーグの多数の打者が対戦相手でも、
    先発したら、ほぼ必ず完投し、奪三振数もとんでもない数を成し遂げていただろうと、約35年前の当時から、日本人の私は考えていました。
    野茂投手が、日本の近鉄球団に在籍していた時代も、日本で開催される日米野球では、メジャーリーグの打者相手から、三振ばかり奪っていました。
    野茂投手はアマチュア時代に、当時世界最強と考えられていたキューバ代表と対戦して、注目され、
    1989年秋頃に、東京で開催された日米野球サミットでは、
    当時、テキサス・レンジャーズ監督のボビー・バレンタイン監督や、
    ブルージェイズに在籍し、ホームラン王となり、「バズーカ」と呼ばれた強肩で、当時はヤンキースに在籍していたジェシー・バーフィールド選手から、
    東京ドームのブルペンで披露した、アマチュア時代の野茂投手の投球を、目の前で見て感嘆し、とても高く評価をしていました。
    ★ ところで、もしよかったら、ほんの少しだけですが、日米野球のシーンを、どうそご覧ください!

    Without these players from Japan in the 80s and 90s and then the Ichiro era, we would probably not be able to witness our current best contender for actually being the next babe Ruth, at least for a season, in of course Shohei Ohtani who is not a fluke at all... just look at the swing, look at the pitches, barring more injuries his stuff is the kind of stuff we don’t foresee dropping off in less than 4 years, that swing will never go into any real slump.
    Anyways great video

    I fucking loved Nomo as a kid. Watching him
    at Dodger stadium. That was a really fun team with four straight rookies of the year. Karros, Piazza, Mondesi, and Nomo. Piazza had maybe the best hitting catcher years of all time around that time and Nomo and Mondesi were just fun. Nomo with his wind up and forkball and Mondesi with his stretching singles into doubles and gunning people out from right field. Ramon Martinez I saw throw a no hitter live. I swear LA sports fans are brain dead. Me and my dad we’re giving each other that look since like the sixth inning, saying nothing of course because that would jinx it. I don’t think most of the stadium noticed he was on a no-no till the ninth inning. Hell the game probably ended with half the stadium still not understanding what had just happened... I still gave my dad shit for the time he came home from work with the sports pages and said that the Dodgers has just made a really good trade... Pedro Martinez for DeLino DeShields... “After all. We have the good Martinez brother already and all we need is a second baseman and we can really make a pennant run.” I remember DeShields hit a two run home run in the bottom of the ninth on my birthday to win the game. Probably his only homer all year. My dad felt vindicated in his opinion on the trade that night. Baseball history is not so kind to him...

    • @jerrygomez3825
      @jerrygomez3825 2 года назад

      At 14:11 you can see Todd Hollandsworth, who became the fifth Dodger in a row to win the rookie of the year award. A few seconds before that you can see Ramon Martinez, the "better" pitcher. And i would have agreed with your dad, while my dad felt the same way you did. I personally liked Delino DeShields. I thought he was a great replacement for the speedy Brett Butler. It's funny because the Rockies second baseman in this game, Eric Davis, would eventually be the Dodgers second basemen as well.

So at the end when you asked people to sub, I thought "damn right because this guy is good and that's why I already subbed." But at the end I noticed the subscribe button was red. So I hit it and then looked at the channel name. I was like wait a minute, this isn't that other channel. But it was just as good and just as professional that I couldn't tell the difference. So great job and good luck. I'm a new subscriber and I highly recommend this channel.

After seeing this great video, I decided to look at Nomo's no-no for Boston in 2001 and realized that was also the first and ONLY no-hitter ever thrown there too! So Nomo tossed 2 no hitters in the two biggest hitter's parks and no one else has since! I mean wtf. ruclips.net/video/tqW-48gE7og/видео.html

  • @JonSwansonE
    @JonSwansonE Год назад

    You mentioned that it was cold and humid that night, which would have helped Nomo out by making the thin Denver air thicker. The cold would increase the density of the air, but moist air is actually less dense than dry air. H2O is lighter than N2 or O2, that's why it rises until it condenses in clouds. You can also see this in weather: high pressure systems mean dry air and sunny skies while low pressure systems mean clouds, rain and even storms.
    I suppose the best way to quantify whether the weather would be helpful or hurtful from a Coriolis effect or batted ball distance perspective is just to look at atmospheric pressure at the ballpark on the day relative to other days at Coors and other ballparks. Atmospheric pressure would be a direct measure of how hard the air pushes against the ball.

    I still have my ticket stubs to this game. What I don't have is a memory of the game. After the rain delay my dad and I made the decision to leave because "there is no way they are going to play this f****** game". Three hours later, back home in western Colorado my mom met us at the door with the news. (The story has a happy ending though. In 2009 we were decided to stay past the 13th inning and watch Ryan Spilborghs' epic grand slam against San Francisco. If you are a Rockies fan, you remember that game. The reason why we stayed? "Remember when we left Nomo's no hitter early? Let's not do that again!")

They award longevity and stats (Harold Baines: 22 seasons, 38.7 bWAR)...except when they don't (Lou Whitaker: 19 seasons, 75.1 bWAR). They don't award record-breakers with short peaks (Roger Maris: 2 consecutive MVPS, single season HR record from '61-'98)...except when they do (Hack Wilson: 4 straight seasons w/ MVP votes, single season RBI record). Pitchers with short peaks but long careers typically don't make it (Orel Hershiser: Cy Young winner, World Series MVP)...but sometimes they do (Catfish Hunter: Cy Young Winner, 5-time WS champion). Pitchers with short peaks and short careers but a lot of hardware like Lincecum have even more trouble, but Sandy Koufax made it in. So, its difficult to predict. But at the very least, it'll take a long time for the voters to wise up.

I personally think Kerry Woods 20K 1 hitter was the best pitched game ever due to sheer dominance, but this one certainly is impressive for the improbability of it.

He went away. Came back one more time. Pitched pretty good for like ten second. Hitters figured him out. I’m sensing a pattern. I’m starting to think his pitching was 95% in the windup and it’s deceptive strange nature. But once you got used to it...
