Re: most dominate pitching performances of all time
[ QUOTE ]
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)

It's more of a sign of utter luck. You can be perfectly on your game and still allow a fluke blooper. Strikeouts is THE sign of utter dominance.
Though Obviously Pedro's 17k game against NYY was much more dominant than Randy's 19k game where he allowed 100 hits.
