In 1952 then minor leaguer Ron Necciai threw the game Nolan Ryan spent his illustrious career trying to throw -- Necciai faced 27 men and struck them all out !
Later that season he was (not surprisingly) called up by the Pirates. His major league record for that stint in 1952 is a dismal 1-6 with a 7.08 ERA.

It would be virtually impossible to be any more dominant than Necciai was on that one fateful day 50 years ago.
