That's because people that vote in ESPN Sportsnation polls have the attention span of an unmedicated 4 year old with ADHD all hopped up on sugar.

If that poll was asked 2 weeks ago, the perfect game would have won.

In closing, ESPN sucks.


62% of people from Illinois agree with the poll.

That is irrelevant to my point.

So applying that logic to a season means batting .159 > batting .300

Maybe. What if you bat .159 and all 60 of your hits are home runs and you got 110 RBI vs. .300 and they're all little punch and judy singles with 65 RBI? Who had a better season?

And :lol: @ you for using batting average man. C'mon. :?

I thought it was an obvious shot at Dunn's pathetic season last year. Obviously it wasn't a perfect comparison but i think it showed the silliness of using the "rarity" angle when talking about how impressive something is. I don't really think its debatable that a perfect game is more impressive than 3 sac flys in a game.

I don't think the "rarity" angle is really all that silly.
Look man, the whole thing is wording. A pitcher that k's 20 could very well be more dominant than a pitcher that got that perfect game depending on how the games go down. Its like saying, what's more impressive, building a 600hp sports car or designing a new ultralight airplane. They're different things. A 20 K game and a perfect game really shouldn't be directly compared.

Hamilton would need to go 0 for his next 273 at bats to match Pujols .275slg
