When I moved back to the City in the 70s they were still sliding on the concrete at North Beach Playground. It was a flat footed slide almost like a skateboard stance on both feet. Amazing watching them go from a full run to skid into 3rd like that.

Cimoli went to Galileo. So did Tony Lazzeri, Dom DiMaggio, No Neck Williams, OJ Simpson and my mom who used to watch Joe D play on the concrete field at North Beach Playground. And yes, they slid on the concrete. She said he was in a class with her but left after a few weeks to join his dad on a fishing boat.

San Francisco used to be a signing hot bed. Things began changing in the late 60’s and City baseball is on life support these days.
