Another comedy star, Buster Keaton, spent a part of his varied career as a snort stop for Muskegon. Even more directors than actors were recruited from the national game. Ben Stoloff, of Fox, played shortstop for Portland, while both Al Green and Eddie Cline were pitchers for semi- professional teams.

Mike Donlin, once played for [ the Giants, and was ranked among ; the leading players in the history I of the sport. It is one of Buster Keaton’s hobbies to surround himself with baseball players. Byron Houck, his cameraman, was with the Philadelphia Athletics when they were world champions, and Vic Orsatti, his assistant director, was under contract to the St. Louis Cardinals. Though not a player, Roscoe Arbuckle once owned the Vernon club in the Pacific Coast League. LONG NEEDED PROOF.
