Baseball Folklore

A few minutes ago, I heard, yet again, the old saying that only in baseball can someone fail 70 percent of the time, and still be considered a star.

Why isn't this inaccurate myth ever challenged? Assuming that failure means an out, then a player who fails 70 percent of the time would have an on base percentage of .300, hardly star quality.
