In 1963, major league baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry remarked, "They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." On July 20, 1969, an hour after Neil Armstrong set foot on the surface of the moon, Perry hit is first, and only, home run while playing for the San Francisco Giants. Well, the quote is often a who said it type thing, where it wasn't ever reported or recorded until after. Who said it? No one really knows if it was said. However it is true that Perry got a home run the same day the moon landing happened and he never got another again.
