* Our sources, chiefly BaseballReference.com among others, lists McNeely as a Sacramento High graduate. Sacramento baseball historian Bill Iliff found evidence that McNeely graduated from Christian Brothers College (now High), however, CBS records for the time period are inconclusive. One thing is certain: McNeely did not play high school baseball at either institution, although he did play other secondary school sports.
