As quoted in "Koufax" https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1979/03/21/koufax/3139f66f-996a-485f-8cce-8f7671152136/?utm_term=.174cfc71ede2) by Thomas Boswell, in The Washington Post (March 21, 1979)
“You've got to be lucky to pitch a no-hitter, and if you have good stuff, it's easier to be lucky.”
Speaking on July 1, 1990, at Chavez Ravine, in reference to a no-hitter thrown there just two days before by the Dodgers' Fernando Valuenzela (and, coincidentally, just hours before the Yankees' Andy Hawkins would, thanks to three 8th-inning Bomber miscues, famously record a 4-0, complete-game loss to Chicago, despite giving up no hits ); as quoted in "Notes on a Scorecard" https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-07-02-sp-474-story.html by Allan Malamud, in The Los Angeles Times (July 2, 1990)
