Cool thread. I think your numbers are crazy crazy high. Hell, probably 50% of the population can't name the Vice President. Here are my guesses.
Babe Ruth 99% Muhammad Ali 99% Jackie Robinson 90% Pele 20% Lou Gehrig 20% (disease obviously raises name recognition) Mickey Mantle 40% Joe Frazier 10% Roberto Clemente 10% (died too early) Joe DiMaggio 25% (Marilyn; Simon & Garfunkel song) Ty Cobb 5% Shoeless Joe Jackson 5% (mostly because of beloved/hated Field of Dreams) Wilt Chamberlain 10% (reports of 10,000 helped!) Bill Russell 5% Jack Dempsey less than 1% Joe Louis 5% Rocky Marciano 5% Jim Thorpe 1% Jack Johnson 1% A.J. Foyt 1% Richard Petty 20% Honus Wagner 5% Satchel Paige 5% George Mikan less than 1% Rogers Hornsby less than 1% Christy Mathewson less than 1% Walter Johnson less than 1% Bobby Jones less than 1% Bronko Nagurski less than 1% Josh Gibson less than 1% Georges Vezina about .001% Last edited by Snapolit1; 03-07-2018 at 06:56 PM. |
