Our home field was at Big Rec off Lincoln Way in GGP. Two diamonds, to the west was Graham named after the old owner of the Seals. A pitchers park with little carry. No fences. The other was Nealon, nestled among giant cypress trees with good carry to left and a hill in the deepest part. I once hit a ball that would have rolled forever but it hit the hill on a fly and spun back like a John Rahm 60 degree. Homer turned into a double.
The best kept diamond in the City was Hennessey at Funston Playground (now Moscone) in the Marina. Stands right on top of the field. Intimidating to pitch against SH and Galileo. Faced No Neck Williams one time and shut him down (in a loss). Very tough street fighter, warned not to hit him. LOL.
