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

Re: Pro Athletes From Your High School
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

Re: Pro Athletes From Your High School
I attended Newtown HS in Elmhurst Queens. Luis Del Los Santos who played for the KC Royals during the late 80's went there too.
My brother-in-law grew up in Washington Heights and actually attended George Washington HS while Manny Ramirez was there too.
