Fette enjoyed three strong seasons with the Bees, posting a 41–33 won–lost record and an even 3.00 earned run average in 95 games pitched from 1937–1939. He threw 14 shutouts and 51 complete games. In 1939 he was named to the National League All-Star team, and hurled two scoreless innings during the Senior Circuit\'s 3–1 defeat at Yankee Stadium, allowing only one hit and fanning future Hall of Famer Joe Gordon.\n', '
