Leon- I'm pretty sure that you have a D311 Arellanes card you can share here.

Sticking with the Red Sox theme, Duffy Lewis is listed here as well. He hit all of .170 for the Alameda team in the California League that year (according to this document). Here are some pics of later Obak and T207 cards.

Nice Zeenut, David. Baum, who won many games in the PCL, was 7-4 in the CA league in 1907. Not much work compared to Frank Arellanes, who was 31-21 for San Jose. He would go on to pitch for Boston in the AL from 1908-1910, winning 16 games in 1909 and earning a spot in several of the circa 1910 baseball card issues. He then returned to the PCL and has a number of Zeenut, Pacific Coast Biscuit, Obak, and other related PCL cards. I'll add some of those later. He died of the Spanish flu in 1918.

A few more of note in here.

You'd think that San Jose would have won the league with future major leaguer Arellanes as the primary pitcher and Harry Krause, another future major leaguer, as the secondary pitcher. Krause was 7 and 11 for San Jose in 1907, but would go on to pitch well for the Philadelphia Athletics, including an 18-8 year with a 1.39 ERA in 1909. He ended up back in the PCL-R a few years later and has a good number of Major league and minor league cards.
