As others see us...
« on: March 09, 2022, 06:51:31 AM »
From time to time this board will drift to baseball tales so I thought Id share bits of a radio show in Dallas I listen to in the mornings - topic?  Street names, specifically streets /highways named after athletes, of which there are 3700+ in the USA.

# 1?  Secretariat by a very very wide margin - over 30% of the total.
# 2?  Earnhatdt - OK, maybe no surprise (there may be 100 in AL/GA alone)

The next ten were ALL horses.  Golf was the next sport with the most names.  
I share because the 3 guys were gushing at the end of the segment, one commented that \"Americans sure love horse racing\"...to which his partner said \"they sure do, no doubt about it\".
I don\'t think I\'ve seen either at the AQUA live meet...
