"Rabbit" Warstler, started his professional baseball career with the Indianapolis Club of the American Association in 1927, moving on to Quincy of the Three-I League after the season was under way, with whom he batted .351. The next three years Warstler was the regular shortstop of the Indianapolis Club, and became the property of the Boston Red Sox in the middle of the 1930 season. Warstler alternated between shortstop and second base for the Red Sox until the end of the 1933 season when he was traded to the Philadelphia Athletics. He was the regular second baseman for the A's until the middle of the 1936 season when he became the property of the Boston Bees via the waiver route. "Rabbit" has been the sparkplug of the Boston Bees infield since that time. His 9-year major-league record shows that Warstler has taken part in 1013 games, getting 804 hits for an average of .228.
