What it would mean if Justin Verlander does, indeed, throw a third career no hitter

This is what you need to know about Justin Verlander if he does, indeed, throw a third no-hitter in his career: It's an indication of true greatness.
The only three pitchers to throw three or more no hitters since 1900 are Nolan Ryan (seven), Sandy Koufax (four) and Bob Feller (three).
Like Verlander, those true all-time greats and Hall of Famers were all the most consistently hard-throwing starting pitchers of their era. Also, Verlander has 23 more wins than any other active major league pitcher 29 years old or younger. It would spell, health-willing, an almost-certain Hall of Fame career for Verlander.
