Ron Howard was considered, and I think it's close. I didn't cound Brad Pitt because I associate him more with Missouri, as that was where he really grew up. Reba is not more popular than Garth or Mickey Mantle. Chuck Norris is interesting because of the length of his career, but I don't think he's more popular than either Garth or Mickey.

I think that as the Boomers die off so will the popularity of Mantle. He'll always be remembered as one of the all-time baseball greats, but he has potential of fading like Joan Crawford, Will Rogers, Gene Autrey, and Jim Thorpe. A legend of a time long ago.
