What do you feel is your hometown’s Apex Mountain?

When was, as Bill says, your hometown was at their peak of their powers or had the most juice. I personally think he means they had the most influence or attention.

I'm from Chesapeake, Virginia so I'm going with the year 2006. This was the year for some Chesapeake athletes during that time:

Alonzo Mourning won the NBA title with the Heat.

David Wright went to the NLCS and had an all star season with the Mets.

Percy Harvin won the national championship with UF.

Justin Upton was drafted #1 overall in the MLB draft in 2005, and was rising through the ranks.
