Dodgers Set Sights On Hyun-jin
By SBRForum.com
While many have been talking about how barren the Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitching staff looked near the end of the season, the team had not made any major moves towards getting a fresh face for the lineup. That is, until this past week when they secured the rights to negotiated with one Ryu Hyun-jin. By securing Hyun-jin, the Dodgers could solidify themselves...
Bill Hohn retires after 23 years as umpire
Bill Hohn has retired after 23 years as a major league umpire and been replaced by Todd Tichenor.
Hohn missed the 2011 season because of a back and neck issues. The 56-year-old worked the division series in 1996, 1998 and 2005, and the 1994 All-Star game. He was behind the plate for Hideo Nomo's no-hitter for the Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado on Sept. 17, 1996.

Jeremy Lin's 'Linsanity' Brings Back Memories of 'Nomomania' Over Dodgers Pitcher Hideo Nomo
There is a No. 16 Dodgers jersey somewhere in a closet -- or maybe by now it's been confined to a box -- at my parents' home. It hasn't been worn in more than a decade, but it got plenty of wear in its early days. Hideo Nomo arrived with a bang in the United States in 1995, when the 26-year-old rookie pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers won the Rookie of the Year Award...

Wezen-Ball: Pre-MLB Nomo & Ichiro in SI by Larry Granillo
The news that Yu Darvish has finally signed with the Rangers inspired me (again) to do a little digging into the history of Japanese ballplayers in the Major Leagues. Not that we're talking ancient history here. Other than the Giants' 1960s relief pitcher Masanori Murakami, the only major league Japanese players have been playing only since Hideo Nomo found a loophole in...
There's No One Like Nomo
Real Nomo prepares to sue for defamation.
Hello, my name may or may not be Hideo Nomo, and I am honored and grateful to have been elevated (along with my homies-in-crime Baker & Stubbs) from comment section squatter to full-on Son of Steve Garvey. (I just hope Dad knows he has these extra mouths to feed now.)
A bit of my history with the Dodgers:
