The Wilmington Blue Rocks of the Carolina League play at Judy Johnson Field. The HOF'er grew up in Wilmington and the stadium has a nice statue of him out front.

I know of a couple streets for major leaguers. Jack Martin Blvd in Brick, NJ was named after the 1912-14 player that lived in town and Doc Cramer Blvd in Manahawkin, NJ is right by where he spent his last years.
