		Arlett started his career as a right-handed spitball pitcher—with the reputation of "he's a good hitter, for pitcher"—with the hometown Oakland Oaks in 1918, and went on to win 108 games, twice going over 25 wins in a season.

		In leagues with little major league affiliation, like the Pacific Coast League in the '30s, for example, a lot of players became local heroes and attendance flourished; Buzz Arlett, for example, smashed over 400 minor league home runs, more than half with the PCL's Oakland Oaks.
