1) Trick question. It was High Pockets Kelly who attended Mission and Lowell and dropped out to sign a pro contract. Points for Mick as Koenig ended his career with the Giants and to Bobbbbb for Dirty Al who attended SI and graduated from Mission. First SF Giant from San Francisco.
2) Bobb for naming Kezar Pavillio and the Cow Palace.
3) USF played in the Cable Car but Art Santo Domingo was the founder (Bobbbb). Not Santa Clara SID but director of the Giants PR department at the time of the founding of the tourney. Much later he turned it over to SCU.
4) Venturi and Miller. Jack Burke Jr went to school in Fort Worth. The other Lincoln Mustang was Bob Lunn.
5) DiMaggio Playground was initially called North Beach and the feature I was looking for was the concrete diamond where DiMaggio and others often slid.

I watched a couple games at North Beach and was amazed how those kids had perfected the flat-footed slide on concrete in sneakers.
