SportsLetter, the online newsletter from the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles, interviews author and journalist Don Wallace about his book on Long Beach Polytechnic High School, One Great Game. Wallace attended the school, of which SportsLetter writes:
Poly has produced more NFL players than any other high school, including such standouts as Gene Washington, Earl McCullouch, and Willie McGinest. Other alumni include tennis star Billie Jean King, known then as Billie Jean Moffitt; baseball's Tony Gwynn; basketball's Mack Calvin; and track stars/Olympians Earl Thomson, John Rambo, and Martha Watson, not to mention actress Cameron Diaz and rapper Snoop Dogg).
