The greatest baseball player ever was a guy named Hugh McBealy, and he was most famous for every single time he came to the plate knocking the ball high over right field and into the stands.

He scored a home run every single at bat, and always the exact same way. Way over right field, too high for anyone to reach, and it always landed in exactly the 17th row of the stands, give or take a couple feet.

He earned the nickname โ€œthe machineโ€ for how consistently he hit the exact same spot every time. Right field, 17th row, every single time. He did this for 20 years before he retired. Tickets to the 2-3 seats that the ball always landed on sold for over $2k a pop by the time he retired because you were guaranteed at least a couple home run balls.

And the day he retired a reporter asked him โ€œHow does it feel to be retiring as the greatest hitter of all time?โ€

Hugh just looked at the reporter puzzled. โ€œWhat do you mean?โ€ He said.

The reporter clarified โ€œliterally over 5,000 times you went to the plate and hit a home run to right field, 17th row of the stands!โ€

Hugh looked dejected and disappointed โ€œyeah, my greatest failure...โ€

โ€œWhat do you mean?โ€ Said the reporter incredulously.

Hugh letโ€™s out a long sigh, and looked down at the ground quietly for a moment before finally speaking.

โ€œIโ€™ve been aiming left this whole timeโ€
