Hometown hero Joe Mauer attended Cretin-Derham Hall in St. Paul, Minn., along with fellow All-Star Paul Molitor.It's quite a feat for a high school to produce a major league baseball player. It's an even bigger accomplishment to eventually have one of your alumni play in the MLB All-Star Game.
But then there are those schools which are truly special — those which have produced multiple MLB All-Stars.
A total of 36 schools have seen two or more of their former students play in an All-Star game in the past 20 years. Powerhouse baseball states California and Florida bombard the list with 26 schools between them, led by Lake Brantley (Altamonte Springs, Fla.) with four All-Stars.
There's also a family connection, as Avon Park (Fla.) produced father-and-son All-Star combo Tom Gordon and Dee Gordon (Tom's younger son and Dee's brother
Nick hopes to join them soon, but attended Olympia High School). All-Star brothers Brian and Marcus Giles are representing for Granite Hills (El Cajon, Calif.).
Below are all the schools with more than one All-Star since 1994. Also listed is the team (or teams) with which the player earned an All-Star appearance.
