athletes from the bay

Oakland is THE historic and current MECCA for black baseball, so many great Afro-American MLB players come from Oakland.

What about Hightop Fade-Americans?
Or A-Little-Off-The-Sides-Americans?
LOL I'm just fuckin with you, I just never seen someone use "Afro-American," except on the history channel.

Jermaine Dye went to Will C. Wood in Vacaville

Yeah, my sisters graduated the same class as him. He was Cribs not that long ago.

Jermaine Clark is also from Vacaville. He plays for one of the minor league teams.

Hey, Whitfield coached a high school team and owns a batting cage on the peninsula, right? Burlingame high, right? I met him at his batting cage and played his team in the same day, dude was cool as fuck...we romped his team though.

I don't think ray allen is from merced

Eddie House is from Union City - played at Hayward High. I saw dude dump 45 in a NCS game, all from the perimeter.

Matt Barnes is definitely from Sacto - I think the "Sac Town's Finest" tat kinda gives it away

Not a SAV. A major flop, bust, let down, disappointment. People thought he was gonna be the next J Kidd, boy, were they wrong.
