Records serve a couple of purposes.
One, they recognize outstanding performances. And two, they eventually allow us to remember those performances. And they certainly wouldn't be remembered. But we didn't need any help recognizing what Johnson did last night, and we certainly won't have any problems remembering it. The fact is that Randy Johnson did strike out 20 batters in nine innings, and that's true whether we call it a record or not.
