The 1983 Oaks finished with the best regular record in the league and featured future first ballot MLB Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett. The Oaks' outfielder was named California League Rookie of Year as he hit for a .314 BA with 105 runs and 48 stolen bases in 138 games. Puckett went on to play for the Twins the very next season starting a 12 year career in the Twin Cities. He won two World Series, six gold gloves and was named an All-Star 10 times. Puckett's number 34 is retired by Visalia.
