Although it was along time ago way before my time Larry Csonka grew up in my town of Stow Ohio. One of my friends grandmothers even supposedly went on a date with him in high school.

D'Brickashaw Ferguson graduated from a high school about a town away from me. Art Heyman and Jay Fielder came from my town as well. I think Dennis Leonard too.

Sean Ohaire lived in my hometown, I used to see him around the clubs when I was younger. We had mutual friends.
Scotty Riggs still lives here. He used to be roommates with a friend of mine.
Sickboy lives here as well. We go to the same gym so I see him a few times a week.

Former NFL and Penn State WR OJ McDuffie was born and lived in my hometown from birth until his high school years. He was a first round draft pick and our families were super close. Our family was at his home at the time in Marion on draft night when he was drafted by Miami.
Former MLB pitch John Courtwright is also from my home town.
President Warren G Harding was from Marion. His memorial is here.

A former Boston Celtic legend Jim Loscutoff died today at age 85. He lived up the street from me and he and his family have been running a summer camp for kids there for many years. He was drafted #3 overall in the nba draft and won 7 nba championships in his 9 year career.
RIP

I graduated in the same High School as the Young Bucks and grew up in the same city as them. Matt lives about 15 mins away from me, but I don't where he actually lives yet though.

Randall Cobb from the Packers grew up about an hour from my house. I actually got to watch him play multiple games in High School. Pretty cool to see him go Pro. Randy Orton was born and raised about 25 minutes from my house. He moved to Missouri in his early 20's. Bill Belichick was born and raised 3 hours from my house. Jeff Jarrett was born and still lives 3 hours from my house. The Honky Tonk Man was born and raised about an hour from my house. Koko B. Ware was born and raised about an hour from my house. And just for Fun...Shaquille O' Neal almost bought a house next to mine, true story. There is a huge mansion down a long gravel driveway about 3 minutes past my house, Shaq was really close to buying it. I remember, I think it was 2011, when 10 police cars and a SUV limo drove by my house, turned out to be Shaq house hunting.
