** The most unbelievable thing about Phillips winning it all? His championship run might not have even been the most impressive 2012 by a native of his relatively small hometown (population ~2900). [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buster_Posey#2012_.28MVP_season.29 Fellow Leesburg native Buster Posey collected a bevy of awards that year, chiefly among them the NL MVP Award and his second career World Series Ring]]. (The World Series is ''also'' televised on FOX.) What are the odds that the winner of America's top singing competition and the winner of the highest award in [[UsefulNotes/{{Baseball}} the sport]] that is still at least [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball tenuously]] "America's Pastime" would come from the same town of under 3,000 people?
