Hubbell's only appearance with fellow Hall of Famer Ray Schalk was on June 3, 1929, and while Gabby Hartnett, his catcher in the famous 1934 All Star Game, started 33 games for the 1941 Giants, none were with Hubbell. Below are the starting battery mates and number of games in those 433 starts and in Hubbell's 36 shutouts.
