I wouldn't say I have hero worship. Just extremely impressed with some athlete's skills. Hero worship should, in fact, be for men like Billy Waugh. I am also in awe of certain scientists like Einstein and Tesla and Faraday.
No one has ever been in awe of me, not even my wife. Maybe the common tendency for people to idolize others is to get a glimpse of what it might be like to be awesome ourselves. All you guys on this board who only offer cynicism to those whom the rest of us admire, must be pretty amazing dudes.
