Just curious what it is like for a smallish/or tiny town that has one of its "sons" go on to be a star on the world stage?
Do they still live there?
Do people bother them incessantly or are they allowed to be a regular person...
Born in NYC, more specifically Staten Island, we had Nick Fotiu as a hometown hero. But people were always low-key when he was around....more of a hug and "let me buy you a beer when seeing him a Schaffer's Tavern or other local...
Lastly, do people become fans of the team that guy play's for, or is it "I am a Habs or Leafs fan but want him to do well."
Thanks!
