In San Francisco's Mission District, there are still large murals of Frank Gore in a 49ers uniform — at least three of them, at last count. The one on 14th Street depicts Jim Harbaugh and Patrick Willis next to Gore, cradling the football, scanning for a hole to squeeze through. Text below it reads “Who's got it better than us?”
About 20 miles to the south, inside of a nondescript San Carlos strip mall, one can find the Undisputed Boxing Gym. Gore isn't forgotten where he used to train in the offseason, either — his No. 21 49ers jersey rests framed and autographed in the middle of the gym's most prominent wall.
