Pro Athletes From Your High School
This was inspired by the school jersey thread. What athletes from the three major professional sports (MLB, NFL, NBA) went to your former/current high school. Below is a list of former Jets from my old high school (Encinal High School, Alameda, California).
Without knowing for sure I think Encinal might be the only high school (or one of a very few) to have 4 alumni with World Series rings.
Tommy Harper
Curt Motton
Jimmy Rollins
Willie Stargell
Dontrelle Willis
Melvin Carver
Ray Crouse
Junior Tautalatasi

Hi Dewey, that's a pretty impressive list. I went to a very small high school in rural Mississippi, Taylorsville High. The whole list is as follows:
Tim Moffett - WR Raiders
Jason Campbell - QB Redskins
Tim Duckworth - OT Saints
