You figure with 162 games a year, somebody's bound to throw a no-hitter. After last season, Nieves left his position as a roving pitching coach in the Yankees' system to take a job with agent Dick Moss. He now helps recruit young players to that agency, which also includes the retired Andre Dawson. Nieves' career with the Brewers ended prematurely at age 25 in 1990 because of a shoulder injury that did not respond to surgery. There was some belief that he expedited the problem with an overzealous weight program, but Nieves said that was a matter of opinion.

If I had it to do over again, I would have still worked out. Molitor, who has been booed sporadically since returning to Milwaukee in an opponents' uniform, received a standing ovation when he received his plaque commemorating that season. I don't think I was overmatched, but I don't think I've done the job, really. I have to be in there every day to hit, but there are other guys here who are proven. I know I can be an everyday player up here.
