20 strikeout games are impressive, but I think a perfect game is much more dominant.

Randy Johnson's perfecto in 2004 was pretty fantastic. He killed a good hitting Braves team. That to me is more impressive than striking out 20. Allowing no one to reach base is a sign of utter dominance. (he also struck out 13)

clearly the results matter, but a lot of this will come down to subjectively how 'good' the pitcher looked that day. I mean Derek Lowe threw a no-hitter once, but I'm positive that Pedro was more dominant a # of times in games he gave up more than 1 hit. like the Yankees game I referenced above , in which he even gave up a run. But many Sox fans will tell you that he was never better than he was that day, and this was during the best 3 season stretch in baseball history.
