In 1963, baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry's manager remarked, "They'll put a man on the moon before he hits a home run." On July 20, 1969, just minutes after Apollo 11 touched down on the moon, Perry hit his first home run.

I never said I didn't believe you. After all, as they say about baseball:

"You could look it up."

I just thought the Mr. Gorsky legend was an appropriate tie-in.
