When Hideo Nomo made his debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 2, 1995, he was only the second Japanese-born player to appear in Major League Baseball, and the first in 30 years. The move positioned the player and his agent, Don Nomura, against Japan’s baseball establishment. To get to the United States, they had to figure out how Nomo could escape his contract back home. No one foresaw the media storm that followed.

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. - If you cruised through the Sutter Health Park concourse in the early innings Monday night, if you moved past all the A's jerseys on the just-a-bit-too small walkways and then sat with the picnickers on the lawn in right field, you could start to see it: The vision the A's are selling in Sacramento. A's fans were everywhere in a stadium never meant for Major League Baseball. And at the start of the game, few people seemed ready to riot over the team's exit from Oakland.
