Heidemann went 0-1 at the plate over those five games, with a run scored, in what turned out to be the last taste of Big League action for his career that started in 1969 with the Cleveland Indians.
In between, he also suited up for the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets, generally a player off the bench except for 1970 when he appeared in 133 games for the Indians for his only full-season, hitting .211 with 94 hits over 445 at-bats with six homers, 44 runs scored and 37 runs batted in, all career highs.
He finished his Major League tenure with a .211 batting average, with 231 hits in 1093 at-bats over 426 games, hitting nine home runs and driving in 75, scoring 94 himself.
