"Stubby was always tough on the Yankees so they got him from the Browns in 1951 and used him in relief.
A graduate of Western Michigan College, he started in the minors in 1941. After winning 26 while losing 15 in two years, the Tigers brought him up. Stubby pitched for the Tigers through 1949 and went to the Browns on waivers in 1950. His best big league record was 11-5 in 1947.
During the winter he works for a paint manufacturing company."
