Until I read it on
this blog, I didn't know there was a Paul Hornung statue in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.
As the blogger comments, it's pretty weird that the city decided to have a Heisman Trophy winner's statue at a minor league baseball park.

I don’t know why it is there. I’m not even bothering to research it. It’s not worth it. The thing should have been placed on a downtown street or something. And because it wasn’t, visitors to Louisville who attend a game will always wonder, “Why in the world is there a statue of a football player outside of a baseball stadium?” And they will go home thinking, “Do people in Kentucky only understand and respect basketball and horse racing.”

Is it becasue Hornung passed up hometown UK (with Bear Bryant as the head coach) to play for the Fighting Irish? Or because neither the Wildcats nor the Louisville Cardinals wanted it at their stadiums?
