And if memory serves me well, he was usually good for 16-20 HRs a year.
Your memory is failing.
He only achieved that mark 4 times in 18 years. He was a career .675 OPS guy. He was essentially a better fielding Royce Clayton (with the exception he played an easier position on the infield). [Reply]

Nothing happens. MLB redefined what a no-hitter (and by extension, perfect game) is several years ago -- it has to go 9 innings to count. That wiped out several previous less-than-9 no-hitters. For instance, IIRC, David Palmer of the Expos threw a 5-inning "perfect game" back in the 80s. It was controversial even then, and I think that's what led to the rule change.
Having said all that, MLB seems to be making it up on the fly this year, so who knows? [Reply]

Not sure on that, White had 2x the war playing 2300 games vs 2100 for Clayton. [Reply]

Of course, that was when a game was scheduled to be 9 innings.
If it is only scheduled for 7...like you said...who knows... [Reply]
