Henry George "Heinie" Schuble (November 1, 1906 – October 2, 1990) was an American baseball infielder. He played professional baseball for 11 years from 1926 to 1936, including seven seasons in Major League Baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals (1927 and 1936) and Detroit Tigers (1929–1935). He appeared in 332 major league games (172 at shortstop, 106 at third base) and compiled .251 batting average and .296 on-base percentage.
Schuble was born in Houston, Texas, in 1906.
Schuble began playing professional baseball in 1925 as a second baseman with the Mount Pleasant Cats of the East Texas League. He moved on in 1926 to play as a second baseman in the Texas Association with the Palestine Pals and Temple Surgeons and in the Texas League with the Houston Buffaloes. On July 2, 1926, in his first game for Temple, he hit a home run, a triple, and a single in four at bats.
On September 15, 1926, Schuble was traded by the Houston Buffaloes to the Syracuse Stars. He reported to Syracuse in March 1927, but began the 1927 season with the Danville Veterans of the Three-Eye League before moving up to the St. Louis Cardinals following an injury to St. Louis shortstop Tommy Thevenow. He made his major league debut with the Cardinals on July 8, 1927, and appeared in 65 games, 62 of them as the team's starting shortstop. He compiled a .257 batting average in 218 at bats.
