Congrats @hornetfb85 on seeing one of yours make it.
I grew up in a city of 20,000 that was well known for hockey and had a couple of players make it in the NHL and others who became HC's.
The only person to make it in the NBA was the HC of our HS team who went on to coach in the NBA.
I don't recall any football players making it but I did work in the 90's with a former LB for the Lions.
As for baseball, the politics in that city has just about destroyed baseball by splitting the city up into 3 separate youth leagues and by not keeping score. They never have and probably never will have a baseball player make it in MLB
