Did not know Phil Neikro is from Ohio. Mike Schmidt went to Ohio U and one of my old HS basketball and baseball coaches roomed with him there.

17 People who have never been in my kitchen?

Since there were 18 names on that list, are you saying that one of them HAS been in your kitchen?

My answer is right I'm almost positive. Cy Young is from Gilmore and Kenesaw Mountain Landis from Millville to name a few, so that's got to be what it is. I also know (since I work in Solon and go through Bedford) that it is the home of Halle Berry, Chris Chambers and Lee Evans and HoFer Elmer Flick. There's three HoFers from small towns so I can't imagine it is anything else. I started off thinking NFL draft etc but the Cy Young, Landis and Flick stuff sealed it for me.

This is some of my useless knowledge and years of baseball historical stuff coming to fruition if I'm correct.

That's my guess and I'm sticking to it, because I know a couple of the small towns listed are the birthplace of HOFers.

This is a puzzle, folks. A jumble. You need to take the first letter of each of the cities listed and create a phrase. That phrase is the answer.
