Yeah, although I think he was a shoo-in even before this no-no.

His third no hitter puts in very elite company. The only pitchers who had more were Nolan Ryan (he had 7 which will never be surprised) and Sandy Koufax (4).

I caught the last couple of innings. JV had complete command and control. The dude’s 36, an age at which most pitchers are on the downside of their careers.

Apparently, married life agrees with JV.

Sandy Koufax (4).


Koufax’s perfect game was a 1-0 win over the Cubs. The Cub’s pitcher threw a one hitter and the one hit did not lead to the Dodger’s sole run.

True ... which makes Ryan's last no-hitter -- at the age of 44! -- so impressive.

In addition to Ryan’s 7 no hitters he also has 12 one hitters, 18 two hitters and 31 three hitters.
