Nope.

This man was born and raised in Youngstown and is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery.

By the way John, you've seen a picture of a man with the same last name every time you entered City Hall.  :)

John G. Scheible (1866 – 1897) Scheible's obituary in The Youngstown Telegram says that he was employed at a local flour mill before he began playing ball with minor league teams affiliated with the Tri-State League, Iron & Oil League, and New England League.
In the early 1890s, he broke into the National League.
