ALBANY, GA --
Nancy Lopez and Ray Knight now have streets named in their honor.

Thursday afternoon Phoebe Putney President Joel Wernick made the dedication before a crowd.

Lopez is a Hall of Fame professional golfer who has earned numerous accolades throughout her multi-year career.

“You really don't think about winning awards anymore because you really don't win them, but honors like this will stand for a long time and they'll be everlasting even when you're gone. So I think it's even more special,” said Nancy Lopez.

Ray Knight is a two-time Major League Baseball All-Star for 1980 and 1982.

“I don't feel special but today I feel special and it's a great honor to look up and see your name on a sign,” said Ray Knight.

The streets named in their honor are called Nancy Lopez Lane and Ray Knight Way. The streets run alongside the Phoebe Putney outpatient facility near Meredyth Drive.
