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...
