Would it be Randy Johnson's perfect game?

That honor would go to a Yankee. Don Larsen in particular, who pitched the only perfect game in a World Series.

Don Larsen's perfect game in game 5 of the 1956 World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers. This is the only no=hit perfect game in World Series history.

Randy Johnson's perfect game on 18th May 2004 against the Atlanta Braves. It was the first, and to this day, the only no-hitter ever thrown by a Diamondback, and it was a perfect game. After the 2001 World Series, the game is my favourite memory of my favourite team.

Don't know about most "important"... but the most "noted" is Don Larsen's perfecto in the World Series October 8, 1956. Saw it on TV. Had to skip school as they were all day games back in the '50's. Yankees beat the Dodgers 2-0.

I'd say Larsen's perfecto in the 1956 World Series, just for the high public profile it had and how it spread the notion of a perfect game. The previous perfect game had been in 1922 -- that's a generation. To throw one in the Series, well, suddenly everyone knew about, read about, heard about, maybe even watched, a perfect game.

Mr Larsen, for sure. Some trivia for you about the game which I was fortunate to attend:
It was Game 5 of the 56 World Series, and Sal Maglie of the Brooklyn Dodgers was his opponent.
After getting bombed in Game 2 (I think he didn't make it out of the 3rd inning, Don thought he was done pitching in the series, and got all banged-up the night before.
He showed up at the stadium, and found the gameball in his glove which is how the Yanks let the pitchers know who was starting.
Lastly, this game is the only NO-Hitter in post-season play as well.

The most important one would be David Wells. He admitted to being half drunk. We should all take a page from Wells, and show up to work drunk once a year for a perfect day at work!

Anything that Johnny Damon played in back when he was with the Red Sox.
