==Pop Culture==
Moosup is the childhood home of Major League Baseball (MLB) player Walt Dropo (January 30, 1923 – December 17, 2010). A "giant of a man," Dropo was affectionately known as "the moose from Moosup."〔http://www.legacy.com/ns/obituary.aspx?n=walt-dropo&pid=147194286〕 During a 13-year career in MLB, he played for the Boston Red Sox (1949–1952), Detroit Tigers (1952–1954), Chicago White Sox (1955–1958), Cincinnati Redlegs (1958–1959) and Baltimore Orioles (1959-1961). Dropo's parents emigrated from Mostar, Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina), to start a new life. His father, Savo, worked at the local textile mill while also running their Connecticut family farm. Walt was raised in Moosup, Connecticut, where he played sandlot baseball with his brothers Milton and George, and attended Plainfield High School in Central Village, Connecticut, before attending the University of Connecticut.
