Fleet honed his baseball skills at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary in the 1920s. He played for the prison's African American team, known as the "Booker T's", a team that produced three other future Negro leaguers: Roy Tyler, Albert Street, and David Wingfield. Fleet was paroled to the Chicago American Giants in 1930, and pitched in one game for manager Jim Brown, and may have also played briefly for the Memphis Red Sox that season.^[1][2][3][4]
