Have you ever considered that NL no-hitters/perfect games are "less" impressive?

Disagree. NL pitchers have to worry about more than just pitching as AL pitchers have the luxury of sending someone else to hit for them. Also I feel the AL hitters are considered better when really the pitchers are weaker, and they all play in hitters parks. Where as Giants and Padres hitters numbers are so low because of the park they play in. Ask any hitter if they'd rather play in San Francisco or San Diego or even LA as opposed to Texas or especially the New Yankee Stadium (which is a joke)
