One and Done Players

[happybat4]

I found this interesting article written about players who only played one year in the majors. The most interesting is Buzz Arlett who batted .318 with 18 home runs and a .925 OPS in his one season in 1931. He hit over 400 home runs in the minors. Interesting stories as to why some of these players only played one year

in more recent years, Joe Charbonneau was the ROY for the Indians in 1980 or 81, and then just dropped off the face of the earth.

But he played 3 years in the majors. This article is about people who only played one season.
