Glad that's in the past tense. Place is not very great these days. And I hate to say that, because it's my hometown, but, ugh. Left for college and never went back (for good, I mean).

| I played Fall baseball with a few guys from Elkhart back in '91 (I think). Great guys, at least what I remember about them. Of course I was only around them on about 6 weekends in September-October but still. _________________ 'eggo denoted me a First ballot Hall of Famer! - sandyeggo_blue wrote:

| Definitely some good athletes come out of Elkhart.
Shawn Kemp, anyone?
Sure he couldn't spell his own name....but that man could throw it down!! Lol
I played football with his nephew in HS...he was a great athlete as well. Kemp grew up across the street from my grandmother, so we saw him playing basketball all the time as a kid. Then his senior year in HS when he was being heavily recruited, we watched a lot of his games. Will never forget after they won the sectional championship, and after the game he pulled out of the parking lot in a droptop, bright red Corvette.
Uh, yeah, that probably wasn't an illegal recruiting gift?? Ha

| Sounds like your guy got his freak-on quite frequently...
"As of 1998, Kemp had fathered at least 7 children.[11] This number is alleged to be even higher, resulting in Kemp being an easy target for commentators' jokes."
