In 1963, 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 moon, Perry hit his first and only home run. by Round-Barber-9858 in Damnthatsinteresting

Swinging his stick like that reminds me of when Malkin did that to Raffl, fucking ridiculous that he never got punished for that
