Just passed ECM boulevard. Anyone know what he's famous for? GiGi says he's some sort of sports ball celebrity.

Wasn't he a track athlete... hurdler IIRC.

Edit: IBTDDG (in before the Duck Duck Go)

He was from my hometown. Very smart and humble. Did a lot to promote athletics among youth.

One of my favorite athletes of all time, undefeated for TEN years.
Another was Al Oerter who won FOUR consecutive Olympic gold medals in discus.

I threw discus and shot put in grade school and high school. Actually trained with an Olympian. She never medaled in the Olympics, but always did well in the Pan American games.
