George Stone finally found a home in the Majors at age 28, and with the St. Louis Browns, he would have a 187 Hit year (which led the American League) in 1905 as a rookie. Stone exploded in 1906, sweeping the Slash Line (.358/.417/.501) with 208 Hits. As the Browns did not receive that much attention then (and now in a historical context), Stone's accomplishments have not celebrated, but he remained a competent player until 1910.
