They're all in Ohio.
Wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too easy.
-
they all have an e or an a in their names
-
These cities or towns are all home to Baseball Hall of Famers and also some Football Hall of Famers such as Norwalk with Paul Brown.
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.

can we get a hint?

can we get a hint?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.

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.
