What's More American Than Tom Hanks and Baseball?

If there's one thing that America loves more than Tom Hanks or baseball, it's finding an excuse to celebrate Tom Hanks and baseball at the same time.

His films are infinitely quotable, memorable, and always seem to find a way to touch differing regions of this country with their ingrained Americana. Hanks' film catalog connects him to certain cities across the U.S.A. (most famously with a city that rhymes with "Meattle"). One could argue that Evansville, Indiana ranks with top cities most well-known for Hanks, including the aforementioned Seattle, Philadelphia, and wherever Andy lives in "Toy Story."
