Decade Dominators
A decade dominator is a pitcher who was the most powerful in a given
decade i.e. the '60's or '70's. This means that the pitcher won the most,
or just pitched the best. All this shows you is when that particular pitcher
was in his prime. But, there are many pitchers who hit their prime at a bad
time. A good example is Clair Bruce. Clair had about 6 state tournaments
where he averaged 75%-80% and never won the state title. If he would
do that nowadays, he'd win it every time.
