[sixburgh]

Keep in mind my hometown's population is only 4,035 so this is kind of crazy imo.

All within minutes of each other...

The Griffeys, Ken & Jr (bordering town)

Joe Montana (bordering town)

Michael Moorer - former Heavyweight Champ who beat Holyfield and lost to Foreman ("rival" town across river, the Shelbyville to our Springfield)

Natalie Ratano - Pam Anderson's costar on TV show V.I.P. (shouted out hometown on MTV Cribs)

There have also been probably 20 or so more NFL players but Montana is the only "household name".
