Born in Houston, Texas, Henry George Schuble, Jr. first played professional ball for Mt. Pleasant of the Class D East Texas League. In 1925, the 18-year-old appeared in 17 games, hitting .227 in 58 at-bats. In 1926, "Heinie" (once a common nickname for baseball players with German ancestry) made a brief appearance with Houston of the Class A Texas League. In 15 games and 44 at-bats, he tallied 15 hits for a .341 average.

In 1927, both Houston and Syracuse of the International League declined Schuble's services. Fortunately, St. Louis picked up the 20-year-old infielder, sending him to Danville of the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League. In 66 games in the nation's oldest Class B circuit, Schuble tallied 25 runs, 58 hits, 1 homer, and 10 stolen bases. He batted .248 in 234 plate appearances. And in the field, he finished with 162 putouts, 165 assists, and 28 errors. Paul Derringer was also a member of the Danville club. Although he spent one more year in the Three Eye than Schuble, the righthanded hurler enjoyed a longer and more productive big league career. From 1931 to 1945, Derringer won 223 games for the Cardinals, Reds, and Cubs.

During the 1927 season, the St. Louis Cardinals were desperate for an everyday shortstop. Tommy Thevenow appeared in 59 games at short, and though he had a steady glove, he batted a mere .194. In July, St. Louis decided to give the untested Schuble a chance. As the youngest Redbird by three years, Schuble appeared in 65 games, collecting 56 hits in 218 at-bats for a .257 average (9 points higher than his Three-I League mark). He also committed 29 errors at shortstop for a suspect .915 fielding percentage. That year, the Cardinals battled the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Giants for the National League pennant. The Pirates finished 94-60, besting the Cards by 1.5 games and the Giants by 2.

The following season, St. Louis moved Rabbit Maranville to shortstop. Schuble was unceremoniously shipped to Houston, where he batted a healthy .286 in 157 games. He also clubbed 8 home runs and swiped 17 bases. Based on Schuble's impressive work in the Texas League, Detroit purchased the well-traveled infielder. In 1929, he was back in the big leagues, appearing in 92 games (86 at shortstop) for the Tigers. In 258 at-bats, he mustered only 60 hits for a .233 average. He also committed 46 errors at shortstop for a .886 fielding average. 

Schuble spent the 1930 and 1931 seasons in Beaumont, Detroit's Texas League affiliate. He played in 145 games his first year and 153 the next, batting .320 and .275 respectively. He also demonstrated the new-found ability to hit the long ball, clubbing 18 home runs in 1930 (though he hit only 9 the following season). He also stole 20 bases each year. In 1932, Schuble was back in the Major Leagues for the third time. This proved to be his finest year of professional ball. In 102 games (76 at third base and 16 at shortstop) he recorded 58 runs, 93 hits, 20 doubles, 5 home runs, 52 RBI, and 14 stolen bases (eighth best in the A.L.). He batted .271 in 340 plate appearances. In 1932, the fifth-place Tigers (76-75, 29.5 games behind the New York Yankees) were loaded with Three-I League veterans, including outfielders John Stone and Gee Walker, occasional outfielder and pinch hitter Jo-Jo White, and pitchers Tommy Bridges, Chief Hogsett, and Whit Wyatt. Detroit would capture the A.L. pennant in 1934 and 1935, but by that time Schuble was seldom used by manager Mickey Cochrane. In those two seasons, he appeared in 22 games, making it to the plate only 23 times.

In 1936, Schuble ended his big league career with 2 games with the Cardinals. He finished with 235 hits and 116 RBI. He died on October 2, 1990 in Baytown, Texas. 

Born on October 10, 1905 in Mulberry, Tennessee, Stone was a gifted athlete who excelled in baseball, football, and track on both the high school and college level. In college, he caught the attention of Detroit scout Billy Doyle. Although he signed a contract, he decided to finish school before pursuing a career in professional baseball.

In 1928, he graduated from Marysville College, and soon thereafter was chasing fly balls for Bob Coleman's Evansville Hubs. The 22-year-old rookie appeared in 75 games before earning a promotion to Detroit. In 297 Class B at-bats, he scored 49 runs with 5 home runs and 4 stolen bases. He batted .354 for a club that included future big leaguers Elon Hogsett, Gee Walker, and Whit Wyatt. Despite the impressive talent, the Hubs finished the split season 6 games below. 500.

Stone finished his first season of professional ball with 26 games in the Detroit outfield. In 113 plate appearances, he batted .354 with 10 doubles, 3 triples, 2 home runs, and 21 RBI. Although he impressed skipper George Moriarty and others, there was little room in the crowded Detroit outfield for an untested college kid (the outfield included Three Eye veterans Bob Fothergill and Harry Rice). Stone then started the 1929 season in Toronto. In 79 games, he smacked 97 hits and 12 home runs for a .329 average. Not surprisingly, he was back in Detroit before the season was over. Although he struggled at the plate (.260 in 150 plate appearances), his fielding was steady (68 putouts, 4 assists, and 1 error over 36 games). 

In 1930, he appeared in 127 games (109 in the outfield) and hit .311 with 56 RBI. He also hit safely in 23 consecutive games. In 1931, he was named the Tigers most valuable player, and in 1932 he enjoyed an impressive season, with career highs in runs (106), doubles (35), home runs (17), and RBI (108). In December 1933, the Senators and Tigers swapped star outfielders, with Leon "Goose" Goslin and Rice trading places. Goslin, elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1968, played an instrumental role in Detroit's pennant-winning clubs of 1934 and 1935. Stone, on the other hand, played for a club that failed to meet high expectations. The Senators had won the pennant in 1933, but would put together only one winning season during Stone's five-year stay in the nation's capital.

Although Clark Griffith's Nationals struggled, Stone batted above .300 during his first 4 seasons in Washington. In 1936, he batted a career high .341 with 149 hits and 90 RBI. After an illness, he retired in 1938. Rocky Stone died on November 30, 1955 at the age of 50. 

Born January 3, 1906 in San Francisco, Suhr attended Polytechnic High School before traveling east to play in the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League. In his first season of professional ball, the 19-year old played first base for Quincy. The Fred Hunter-managed Redbirds finished a frustrating season in last place, 28 games below .500. In contrast to his team's struggles, Suhr enjoyed a solid year, batting .282 in 132 games. He tallied 127 hits and 8 home runs in 451 plate appearances. He also proved adept with the glove, finishing with a .985 fielding percentage and a league-best 112 assists for first baseman. 

From 1926 through 1929, he played for  San Francisco of the P.C.L. With first base occupied by manager and former big leaguer Babe Ellison, the Seals placed the 6-foot Suhr in the middle infield. At first, he struggled mightily at shortstop and second base. The San Francisco Chronicle likened his fielding to a Newfoundland seal floundering on a slippery floor. Eventually, his glovework steadied and the boos subsided. Though Suhr struggled on the field, he racked up impressive offensive numbers in a league where teams played an average of 200 games a season. In four years, he averaged 190 games, 704 at-bats, 145 runs, 226 hits, and 29 home runs a season. In his last year he appeared in every inning of all 202 games. He batted .381 (third in the league), clobbered 51 home runs, and scored an astounding 196 runs (second highest in baseball history). That seasom, the Seals also shifted Suhr to first base, his natural position. His banner season attracted the attention of Pittsburgh scout Joe Devine, and the Pirates picked up his contract for a reported $50,000. The following season the 24-year-old was Pittsburgh's everyday first baseman.

In his rookie year, Suhr batted .286 in 151 games for the fifth-place Buccaneers. He also tallied 155 hits, 26 doubles, and 107 RBI. Facing the longer fences of Forbes Field, though, his home run total declined to 17. Suhr also earned praise in the field, committing only 13 errors in 151 games at first for a .992 fielding percentage. He endured a sophomore slump (batting .211 in 87 games) before rebounding with a solid 1932 season. He cut down his swing to improve his average 52 points, and he finished with 16 triples (second best in the N.L.). 

Suhr's finest Major League season was 1936 when he batted a career-high .312 in 156 games. He also tallied personal bests in hits (182), RBI (118) and walks (95), while earning his first and only All-Star appearance. On June 5, 1937, he ended his 822 consecutive-game streak to attend his mother's funeral in San Francisco. He split the 1939 season between the Pirates and the Phillies, and he ended his big league career the following year in Philadelphia. All told, he appeared in 1,435 games, with 1,446 hits, 818 RBI, and a .279 batting average. In 1,406 games at first base, he retired with a .992 fielding percentage.

After his big league days were over, Suhr returned to San Francisco for three more seasons (1943-1945) in the wartime Pacific Coast League. His power was long gone, but in 1944 he led the circuit with 36 doubles.
