Anyone who has seriously played at baseball, and has seen a base hit single turn into a triple by a baseball hitting a pebble, knows, full well, the old baseball expression, "it's better to be lucky than good". A similar expression could be applied in politics.
A case in point is that of Donald Trump and North Korea; After years of pouring all of North Korea's resources into nuclear weapons, the atomic testing has so damaged their test site that it is unusable and comes at a time when North Korea lacks the resources to build a new one or repair the old one. They are forced to not only suspend their nuclear program but to consider a complete change in their relationship with the rest of the world.
That this fortuitous event has occurred during the administration of Donald Trump is another example of baseball wisdom.
