How many famous people can a town of 350 have?

Moe Drawbosky, pitcher for eight major league teams, was born July 21, 1935, in Ozanna, Poland. Wikipedia says the village of Ozanna “lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) east of Kuryłówka, 7 km (4 mi) east of Leżajsk, and 47 km (29 mi) north-east of the regional capital Rzeszów.” By the last census, 350 people live in Ozanna.

The “Notable Persons” listing has one name – Moe Drabowsky, who, Mike Royko alleges, "is still considered the best pitcher that Ozanna, Poland, ever produced."
