Russell "Buzz" Arlett was one of the greatest minor leaguers of all time: a 20 game winner as a pitcher who switched to the outfield and hit .341 lifetime. He reached the majors in 1931 with the Phillies, and batted .313 and finished fourth in the league in home runs. But his fielding was attrocious when the season ended he was back to the minors for good.
