Great anecdote

[msgkings322]

John Feldstein on AM sports radio related this story:

Gaylord Perry was a terrible-hitting pitcher, so his manager Alvin Dark once quipped he'd hit a home run the day we land on the moon. He hit his first HR the day BEFORE we landed on the moon in July 1969

1) It was the same day, not the day before

2) Urban Legend (may be true, may not)

3) It *IS* a great anecdote.
