Guest mz. Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 No, no, no. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffer X Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEVELandMILIDH Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 can we get a hint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffer X Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
