Please tell me it's Sacred Heart Prep's very own Harry "Slug" Heilmann, born in San Francisco in 1894, lived at 708A Brannan south of Market and played most of his career for the Detroit Tigers, and won four AL batting titles with Ty Cobb on his same team! (Cobb was eight years older).  Heilmann played football and basketball and ran track instead of playing baseball at Sacred Heart.

There was a Heilmann Park in Detroit and a low-cost Heilmann Community center there, too.  I'm guessing there isn't one in SF.  Would be nice if there was.
