Day 690

Jim Creighton

November 19th, 2013

Considered by many to be baseball's first superstar, Creighton revolutionized the role of the pitcher and gained mythic status when he supposedly suffered a fatal injury while hitting a home run in 1862 at the age of 21.

I'm walking every street in New York City.

This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

~9,954 miles walked

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
