    Speaking of Texans:    Dandy Don Meredith.    Born raised in Texas,  played at SMU, and for Cowboys his whole career.    He, like  Gehrig, never left the Dallas area.    (looking him up...he was from Mt. Vernon TX....just east of Dallas, no?)

  • Need three rulings from Commissioner Sebastian...

    • What if a player changes teams within his home State?
    • What if a player joins a home-state NFL franchise and never plays for another, but the team moves to a different state?
    • How do we treat the Jets and Giants? They now play in NJ.

    And now lives in Sun City right next door. He once opened the door for me at the local UPS store when we both got to it at the same time. Had a nice little two seat silver Mercedes. Don't know how long it took him to unwind out of it though.

  • Make that names...

    Also Jerry Mays... born in Dallas... attended SMU... career Texan/Chief...

    Getting these last couple names from AFL's 1962 Draft.  Remembered that the early AFL Drafts were largely regional to grab names the locals would know.

    So if a draftee attended an in state college, then there's a decent chance that he was born in-state as well.

    And here's a double-ruling name... and a well-known one at that...

    • Ron Mix
    • Born: LA
    • College: USC
    • Played for: LA Chargers/ SD Chargers and then the Oakland Raiders

    My work here is done... 🙂

    Fun stuff....

    Love those little brushes with the famous...

    Think I've told the story of being bought hot chocolate by Lou Groza at The Chalet, Cleveland Metroparks' dual toboggan run. Groza was there with his Granddaughters.
