Some bigger cities have better odds. as with my area population is around 20,000. but tra thomas was in the nfl a few years back.

I know what you mean, I'm from a small town, it's a popular vacation spot put a smaller population of locals. Ross gload graduated with probably 150 people. Where Yaz is from, my dad went to school there, graduated 22 people. It's a big deal for smaller towns.

Marshall Boze - few years older than me and it was a very small town so we all knew about him getting drafted by the Brewers. He made it to the pros for 25 games in 1996.

I've got some of his cards - very cool to see "Soldotna, AK" listed on the back I've thought about trying to get them all - only like 20 different cards.

I don't live there anymore though - just grew up there.

Yea, it's pretty cool. Not all of Ross Gload's cards say it but some do, "East Hampton, Ny". He's the only person I'm aware of to ever make it to the bigs and stay around for awhile.
