I respectfully disagree with the "1 out of 20" number. did you tell your wife it was in 1951? that should eliminate getting "Babe Ruth" as an answer.
I hear you guys, but i think it would be more than just ONE person out of 20. i also grew up in the 80's, and at that time we didn't have a concept of Ali as a boxer, BUT we knew he was amazing, we knew his importance in history (even if not a sports fan). its all relative. the shot heard 'round the world was then (and still is now) a monumental moment in history, even for non-Baseball fans.
Good discussion.
