  • In 1931at age 32, Buzz Arlett became a rookie with the Philadelphia Phillies. It was his only year in the Major Leagues - yet he is considered by many, including SABR, to be perhaps the greatest all-around player in the Minor Leagues. This is his story.

    Very interesting, Ryan! I had never heard of him before. The PCL was a very competitive league so all those HR's is really impressive .

      I love the history and players of the PCL. There are a lot of Major Leaguers from the PCL who made it into Cooperstown. It's interesting that Arlett had a decent year in 1931, but couldn't quite make the Majors stick. I would have loved to have seen Arlett, Don Hurst and Chuck Klein in a 1930s Phillies lineup.

    Yeah . . . sorry man. Probably a good story. I quit at two minutes. You sir are in need of some speech classes. Junior
    colleges usually have classes. Even an 'improv' (spel?), class. Shake you into another vibe. I do know that this is a
    crappy note to you. First comment. And, i mean well. And, i am a jeck. And, have some advice that is fine.

      It most likely wont happen. This isn't something that a college will ever fix, not that I'd ever go to one now anyway. I have no problem speaking regularly, I just hate the medium and the way it's set up is highly distracting. Essentially I'm looking at myself talking. Anyway, I did what I wanted to do. Thanks for watching and commenting anyway. Cheers.

      ​@historythroughcards-shortc814 I think you speak fine. I have no trouble understanding you, and I don't think any of your other viewers do either.
