Roger Clemens was born in Dayton, Ohio but I think he spent most of his childhood in Texas somewhere. Could not include him in the Cincinnati area code because Dayton is 937

So, does "out of your area code" mean the person was born there? Grew up there? Went to college there?

Clemens played high school ball in Katy, TX just west of Houston. I guess Craig James doesn't get any love.

How could he have possibly forgotten Clyde Drexler? Or NOLAN RYAN? Others include Jay Bunher (who went to my high school), Michael Bourn, Josh Beckett, Cory Redding, Jake Voskul (too lazy to look up real spelling), etc... there's a lot, like half the dang NFL it seems.

As an aside, Phylicia Rashad, Claire from the Cosby Show, was born in Houston. You can also almost say Hakeem Olajuwon since this is the only US city he ever lived in.

Off the top of my head for 910...

Jordan, of course.
Meadowlark Lemon

Nobody has mentioned Domonique Wilkins from 252.

Also, from the top of my head,

Sonny Jurgenson
Alge Crumpler
Sam Jones
Willie Stargel
Conner Barth

All I can think of.

Dayton used to be 513 until they implemented the 937 area code a few years back. Clemens, Mike Schmidt and Steve Yeager are Dayton natives. Cincinnati and Dayton are as close as Dallas-Ft. Worth, Tampa-St. Pete, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, etc.

From the 252 area code add Julius Peppers from Bailey, NC and Narron brothers in MLB from Goldsboro, NC. James Worthy from the western part of NC. Dominic Wilkins played high school basketball in Washington, NC.

Clyde was born in Louisiana I believe.

Soooo...he went to Sterling. A lot of people are born places they don't end up staying. I bet Clyde knows Houston like the back of his hand and virtually nothing about any specific part of Louisiana.
