The Oakland high school that produced Frank Robinson and others fights to keep baseball alive
Jamey Smart coaches McClymonds High School players during a challenging baseball game against Skyline, showing dedication despite the team's struggles.
McClymonds' baseball team, mostly beginners, quickly fell behind 10-0 in their first inning against Skyline, highlighting their struggle to compete.
McClymonds, once home to baseball greats like Frank Robinson and Curt Flood, is rebuilding its baseball program from the ground up.
The program has faced challenges including lack of student interest, limited resources, academic eligibility issues, and has not played a full schedule since 2019.
