With all the hype surrounding Dice K, UB decided to pull out a tape from the vault yesterday and relive the greatest Japanese player moment in Red Sox history: Hideo Nomo's no-hitter in 2001.

UB was randomly in attendance at Camden Yards as Nomo threw his second MLB no-no and the first for the Sox since Dave Morehead in 1965.

Because of a crazy work schedule back in the day, UB and some pals got tickets on-line for the 2nd game of the season (Wed) and were able to get the tickets for the opener (Mon) at the box office. Of course after UB and his buddy Cam scored the tickets they headed straight to the bar across the street from O's Park and began drinking at 9am. By the time Pedro took the mound at 3pm, UB, Cam and Russ (who arrived by car around noon) were freaking hammered. Naturally UB got in a fight with the fans and after being pelted by ketchup covered French fries, security moved the boys to a box seat next to Cal Ripken's family! UB didn't know they were his family until he yelled out, "Get off the field you geriatric bum!!!"

Anyway, two nights after that embarrassing opening day loss to the O's, UB and the boys took in Nomo's masterpiece. So here is UB reliving the excitement: Enjoy!
