SANTA CLARA HIGH SCHOOL -- SANTA CLARA

LOCATED: Near intersection of Benton and Pomeroy in Santa Clara.

DIMENSIONS: n/a; portable BAB fence used

DANGER FACTOR: 2/5. Some homes in far LF foul ground have been reached by Alvin, and would have been reached by Jason had he played there.

BOOT FACTOR: 3½/5. If it's not the girl's softball fence making it unusable, it's a school "official".

LAST USED: February 5, 2006

 

 

SCHS is popular among the BAB ranks for its fine infield, near-perfect grass and sheltered dugouts (when unlocked). It is also known for the long, windy entryway off Benton Av. and the "football combine thing" that sits beyond the LF fence--and has been reached with a homer just once. During much of the middle of 2005 it was the league's primary diamond. The league would play here full-time if not for the aforementioned fence and official difficulties.
