Mrs. Gorsky accurately predicted Armstrong would one day be on the moon

So, almost everybody knows what the famous words were that the late astronaut Neil Armstrong said when he landed on the moon — "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

However, as I was listening to WGN the other afternoon, the subject of what he said upon returning to the lander was of interest to me. First of all, it involved baseball — in some ways more than others.

After his famous moon walk and while climbing back into the lander to go home, he is reported to have said, "Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky."
