RE: OT: 5 Greatest Athletes Born in Your School's State
State? Come on, that's pretty easy. How about from your school's city, say either born or at least graduated high school there.
Andy and Syd Cohen El Paso HS (?), Andy NY Giants 2B 1926-1929, Syd Washington Senators P 1934-1937 and gave up Babe Ruth's last home run as a Yankee.
Ray Mickens, Andress HS, Jets, Browns, Patriots CB 1996-2006.
Frank Castillo, Burges HS, Cubs, Rockies, Tigers, Blue Jays, Red Sox, Marlins P 1991-2005.
Mark Grudzielanek, Hanks HS, Expos, Dodgers, Cubs, Cardinals, Royals, Indians 2B 1995-2010.
Alan Culpepper, Coronado HS, distance runner, 12th in the 2004 Olympic marathon.
A couple of people missing that El Pasoans are yelling about.
Nolan Richardson--I was going more for on the field performance, and Nolan made his name as a coach. Had a great career at UTEP, but didn't make it professionally.
Lee Trevino--I was surprised because I thought he grew up in El Paso, but he grew up in Dallas and moved to El Paso as an adult.
