talk about precise irony!

Once upon a time, there was this (not so good) baseball pitcher called Gaylord Perry (yeah i bet he has a nightmare of a school life!).

He was pretty awful ( all presumptious, of course) at his game and he knows it. So one day he made a statement:
"They'll put a man on the moon before i hit a homerun!"

Six years a later, in a matter of a few hours after Neil Armstrong set his foot on the moon, Mr. Gaylord (haha!) hit his one and only homerun of his entire career!

p/s: did i not tell u that this is random?
