My hometown's one and only claim to fame besides myself? Everett Scott.

* 4 time World Series Champion (1915, 1916, 1918, 1923)
* Captain for both the Red Sox and the Yankees
* Appeared in 1307 consecutive games (Longest streak until Gehrig, to this day its still the 3rd longest streak)
Prior to selling my collection about a decade ago, I had a decent amount of his cards. Now I have 1, and I don't remember off the top of my head which one i kept lol. I really need to make a spreadsheet for his stuff this weekend.
My biggest hang up is how few autographs of him I can find.
Actively listed for sale, I've found 1. But its also signed by Ruth, Cobb, Matthewson, its a literal who's who of baseball for the time period. Way too much money for my blood.
The only other one I've ever seen is a team signed ball that exists in my local museum.
