Ki Ki Cuyler's Sports bar in Harrisvllle Michigan is a sports bar that honors the Hall of Famer and is located at the very house that he grew up in. Harrisville is a very small Northern Michigan town near Lake Huron and no doubt still very proud of its association with one of baseball's greats from the first half of the last century.

Omaha has Bob Gibson Blvd. It is a short stretch of road near Rosenblatt Stadium. The stadium has been torn down.
There is also a Bob Boozer Dr. in Omaha after the NBA basketball player. Grand Island Nebraska has a Tom Osborne Expressway, named after the football coach/athletic director. Indianapolis has a rather unique sculpture honoring John Wooden. It shows John kneeling with five sets of legs around him. My daughter thought it was creepy. There is plaque also. http://www.flickr.com/photos/wbur/8162113515/

The tiny town of Nelliston, NY has a street named Dahlen Street. On it, still stands the house that Bill Dahlen lived in for a long time. No plaque, but the street was named for him.
I also believe Utica, NY celebrated George Burns (the ball player) Day and has a plaque to him. Pennants can be found from the celebration.
