I'm embarrassed by some of my wife's responses to some of the athletes on the list:
Babe Ruth 99% - yes Muhammad Ali 99% - sorta - she first thought he was a basketball player, then remembered he was a boxer (phew) Jackie Robinson 99% - no thought he might have been a track star...she did know that he was black though. OMG Pele 99% - yes Lou Gehrig 95% - yes Mickey Mantle 95% - yes Joe Frazier 80% - no Roberto Clemente 80% - yes Joe DiMaggio 75% - yes Ty Cobb 75% - yes Shoeless Joe Jackson 60% - yes Wilt Chamberlain 50% - no Bill Russell 50% - no Jack Dempsey 30% - no Joe Louis 30% - no Rocky Marciano 30% - no Jim Thorpe 30% - no Jack Johnson 25% - no - she hears that name and thinks of the singer/songwriter A.J. Foyt 25% - no Richard Petty 25% - no Honus Wagner 15% - yes Satchel Paige 15% - no George Mikan 10% - no - nor did I Rogers Hornsby 3% - no Christy Mathewson 3% - no Walter Johnson 3% - no Bobby Jones 2% - no Bronko Nagurski 2% - no Josh Gibson 2% - no Georges Vezina 1% - no Clearly I have some influence on her baseball knowledge, but need to work on the guy that apparently 99% of Americans should know!!!
