I don't know how many thousands of baseball statistical quirks I've read over the years, but this may be the most remarkable one of the entire bunch.

The original Fullerton Union H.S., which Walter Johnson attended, burned down around 1910 or so. At some point, perhaps when they rebuilt it, it became simply Fullerton H.S., named for the town in which it was located. A bunch of major leaguers went there, including HOFer Arky Vaughn, also President Richard Nixon.

Here is a Mike Warren no hitter display, along with a couple of others that were thrown for, or against, the Athletics. It should be noted that he was a rookie that year!

That is one heck of a high school alumni list.
