    Exclamation MLB players from Northern California

    In another thread, the conversation digressed to CC Sabathia & Joe DiMaggio - both from Northern California. Let's try to come up with an extensive list of big leaguers from Northern California along with their high schools at which they played.

    Here are some off the top of my head:
    Bill Lee - Terra Linda HS, San Rafael
    Chad Krueter - Redwood HS, Marin County
    Bill Buckner - Napa HS, Napa
    Steve Sax & Dave Sax - Somewhere in the Sacramento area
    Randy Johnson - Livermore
    Keith Hernandez - Capuchino HS, San Bruno
    Dusty Baker - somewhere near Sacramento
    Mike Aldrete, Pete Incaviglia & Pete O'Brien - all from Monterey area
    Randy Ready - Fremont
    Randy Winn & Nate Schierholtz - Dublin/San Ramon
    Willie McGee - Richmond
    Billy Martin - Berkeley
    Vada Pinson - Oakland
    Willie Stargell - Encinal HS, Alameda

    Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

    That's a very poor source. Not only is it way too generalized, but it goes by place of birth and not where they played high school ball or where they grew up.

    We all know Roger Clemens is from Texas. But take a look at where he was born. http://www.baseball-reference.com/c/clemero02.shtml

    Sorry, thought it might give you some ideas

    I noticed that J.P. Howell, Matt Garza and Jason Bartlett of the Rays were all born in Northern California. Does anyone know where each of them played high school ball?
    Holding a pitcher accountable for how many runs his team scores is like holding the designated hitter accountable for how many runs his team allows.

    An individual statistic is meaningful only if it is based strictly on what the player does and not on what the other players on his team do.

    This is from Jason Bartletts wikipedia page

    Jason Alan Bartlett (born October 30, 1979, in Mountain View, California) is a Major League Baseball shortstop who is currently playing baseball for the Tampa Bay Rays. He grew up in Lodi, CA and attended St. Mary's (Stockton) High School. Bartlett went to the University of Oklahoma. His MLB debut was August 3, 2004 for the Minnesota Twins.

    How can you mention Joltin' Joe without mentioning his brothers?

    Welcome back ARod. Hope you are a Yankee forever.
