OMAHA, Neb. — A man who devotes so much time to the Boys Town mission got quite the recognition Friday.

Boys Town trustee Bob Batt got a street named after him; Batt Boulevard is the new name of Mahoney Road on campus.

It's right between the baseball and football fields.

"I'm here all the time, and it's just an honor," Batt said. "And do you know who it's really an honor for? My parents, who brought me up right."

Officials say they rarely do something like this.

The Boys Town mayor was there as well as members of the Boys Town baseball team.
