[UltimateCard]

Yep, many great players born out of the City, especially Oakland back in the day. Thought about Jim Gentile out of Sacred Heart. Pitcher and hitter, AAA player of the year. Had a career year in ‘61, 40 plus HR, 160 something RBI, over .300. An MVP year if not for Maris and Mantle.

Another East Bay HS whose baseball field is named after HOF alum: Oak Tech’s Rickey Henderson (yes, my son played there, too).
