US 12 and I-82 near Zillow, Washington:

It's spelled "Zillah" right there on the sign, and that is the correct spelling.  My wife grew up in nearby Sunnyside.  She says I mispronounce most of the town names in the state, including "Yakima".

Appropriately for Hall of Fame induction day, it's New York 28 and New York 80 in Cooperstown.  June 4, 2015.



Staying on a baseball theme, I-180 and US 220 in the Williamsport, Pennsylvania, area.  July 9, 2007.



Leaving the baseball theme, Florida 29 and Florida 80 in La Belle.  June 29, 2022.



After posting, I looked to see if I could find any baseball connection to La Belle, Florida.  I found that La Belle High School graduate Clay Timpner appeared 2 games with the San Francisco Giants in 2008.  He struck out in both of his 2 at bats, and did not get a chance to make an assist or put out in his 4 defensive innings in the outfield.  According to Baseball Reference, "Clay Timpner has not been elected into the Hall of Fame."

To be fair, LaBelle is a bit west of the Grapefruit League circuit...

240 miles north of Frostproof, US 27 bumps US 98 in Perry. This also the northern terminus of US 27 Alt, which began in Williston, and was concurrent with US 98 from Chiefland to here.
