Basel, Switzerland: Walk of Fame

Hollywood isn't the only place to have a Walk of Fame. Basel has one too. We stumbled on it while walking around the city.

Admittedly, the heroes of the Swiss city might not be so well known on this side of the Atlantic. But a short search came up with a name that is known throughout the world. By all accounts, Roger Federer is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. By most accounts, he might be a better person. Roger always has handled himself with grace and class. His name and year of induction (2008) are on the bottom plaque.

Federer retired less than a month after this photo was taken. Consider this a bit of a salute to the Tennis Pride of Switzerland.
