New York Mets Pitchers with No-Hitters

There are a few well known facts about the New York Mets. One is that the New York Mets have a long history of making bad trades. Another well known fact is that the New York Mets have never thrown a no-hitter.

If you take these two factors and combine them together then you can probably guess that over the years the New York Mets have never thrown a no-hitter but several of their former and future players threw no-hitters, the Mets just didn't have them at the time because the Mets just don't have much luck when it comes to transactions.

Here are all the players that were a member of the New York Mets at some point, but threw a no-hitter for somebody else.

Don Cardwell
In 1960 Don Cardwell pitched a no-hitter for the Chicago Cubs. Cardwell played two more seasons for the Chicago Cubs and had a stint in Pittsburgh before the New York Mets acquired him in 1967. Cardwell had a few good seasons as far as ERA but never even had a winning record with the New York Mets.

Warren Spahn
Warren Spahn was a Hall of Fame pitcher for the Boston Braves and then Milwaukee Braves. Spahn pitched two no-hitters, one in 1960 and the other in 1961. Spahn played for the Braves his entire career until the last season of his career when he split time between the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants. Spahn went 4 - 12 with the New York Mets with a 4.36 ERA.

Dean Chance
Like Spahn, Dean Chance's career with the New York Mets was very brief. Dean Chance only pitched three games for the New York Mets in 1970. Three years earlier Dean Chance had pitched a no-hitter for the Minnesota Twins.

Dock Ellis
In 1970 Dock Ellis went 13 - 10 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and threw a no-hitter. In 1979 Dock Ellis pitched 17 games for the New York Mets and compiled a record of 3 - 7 with a 6.04 ERA.
