"Only those who have the courage to
take a penalty miss them." Roberto Baggio was the Divine Ponytail of Italian calcio. In his storied career, he only missed one penalty kick for Italy, and his legacy should not be defined by that famous incident. In the Serie A, Baggio converted 71 out of 79 (90%), which is a record.
