SF city baseball has really gone downhill since the '80's.. Largely due to changing demographics and underfunded public schools and parks. It's sad and hopefully turns back around soon.
I think SF Bay Area high schools have produced more big leaguers per capita than any other metro area in the US.
I'll add more/check HS's when I get home to see if we have any more 2x HOF schools
