Mike, I wasn't aware of that factoid, but now that you mention it, the no-hitters that he likely would have managed in were:
Joe Cowley (CWS) 1986 vs. CAL
Dave Stewart (OAK) 1990 vs. TOR
Jose' Jimenez (STL) 1999 vs. ARI*
Bud Smith (STL) 2001 vs. SD*
*Both Jimenez and Smith pitched their no-hitters in their rookie seasons.
