Hard to see this succeeding with all the competition out in Western Kansas with other tourist attractions like the world's largest ball of twine, the two-headed prairie dog, the three-legged cow, and the world's deepest hand-dug well.
And 258 miles from Le Mars, Iowa, the ice cream capital of the world!
EDIT: Hang on a sec, AG: Isn't Muscotah north-north-east of Topeka and only 60 miles from MCI? How is that considered "Western Kansas?" Or are you just behaving like older New Yorkers who refer to Scarsdale as "upstate" and Port Jervis "the country?"

Wouldn't the the world's largest ball of twine be a very excellent beginning for the world's largest baseball?
All that would require is someone who thinks outside the box; someone willing to undergo a little road trip, to do what it takes to acquire the item in question, wrap it up in a giant 3-legged cow skin, or twelve, and then do some extra stitching. Not that I'm encouraging anything, but that all sounds like a very Kansas kind of thing.

One of my uncles was born in Elsmore - population 77.
Exactly. Just look at the congressional districts.
Hehehe. Not quite. According to that map, Muscotah is in the 2nd CD.
I always joke that, to people from NYC or Long Island, "Upstate New York" begins at the sign that reads "Welcome to Yonkers".

It has to be at least... three times as big!
The only reason I opened this thread was to make that joke... and I was too late.
I'm from Long Island, and that statement is a completely true non-joke.
