Help in identifying players-San Leandro CA winter league 1947
Posted By: Ed McCollum
I work with a woman whose father played and managed minor league baseball his whole life. He passed away about two years ago, and she is now going through all the stuff he accumulated over his career. One of the things she came back with this weekend is a photo from the San Leandro CA winter league in 1947, which shows her father (Frank Benites; seventh from left; back row) among the entire team. One of his team mates is Billy Martin (seventh from left; front row), who was working his way up through the Yankee organization at the time. |

I couldn't help but notice the name "Arlett" in one of the news accounts. Buzz Arlett, one of greatest of all Pacific Coast League players, was born very close to San Leandro in Elmhurst and would have been 47 at the time ... |

In another article, they give Arlett's first name as Neal. They also list another Benites named Augie, a shortstop. |

In San Leandro, the guy with the most information about the Winter League is Mark McRae, he posts on this board once in a while. Send him an e-mail, he may have interesting information. Mark had a great show today. |
