I remember that King County in Washington State renamed the county after ML King a few years ago.

I heard a Jean Shepherd show on SW where he was talking baseball, and being a spokesman for a Mets advertiser, he would go to the games. At one, the local gub'mint types of the FL town where the Mets Wintered were there to announce the renaming of the local field to "Casey Stengal Park" or whatever.

Shepherd said Stengal took it in stride, knowing who the previous named individual, probably even knew him, and would be expecting his name to be dropped in a generation or two...
