There is also a Lefty Gomez Field in Fairfax. He used to pitch at White House Pool Field in Pt. Reyes. Had lights back then. Now a parking lot in the PRNS.
Good call on Lombardi and F Robbie. The other local is SF's Sacred Heart with Joe Cronin and Harry Heilman. Joe D did not graduate from Gal. My mom was in his class their first year. She said he disappeared sometime before Christmas. Story goes that he went back to Martinez to work on his father's fishing boat but continued to play ball. Was signed by the Seals and eventually to the Yanks.
What Sacred Heart grad hit two grand slams in the same game? What reward did the Orioles make to him 50 years later?
