Wolski lived in Canada since he was 4 or so.
There are many Polish-Americans playing baseball but I don't think any poles born in Poland. The most famous and best being Stan "the man" Musial, but he was born in the states his parents in poland.
I love hockey Unia #1

Yes, I was excited when I saw Wojtek Wolski along with Joe Sakic playing the Detroit Redwings at the Pepsi Co. Center... but I was kinda disappointed that he was actually raised in Canada so I thought "oh, well, he's canadian".

And sorry DBart22, but I love hockey so I had to mention about it too ;)
And about fighting... well, I'd have to ask my sister's husband, he loves the Ultimate Fighting. But I only know there are poles in the World's Strongest Man Competition haha.

Dunno, but a lot of us are definitely tall enough. My cousin married a guy (who's name happens to be Artur as well) and he's 6"8. He'd just have to stand next to the hoop and do a little bunny hop to dunk. :]
