Who is the man: Bob Heise appeared in 67 games in 1970, his first year in the majors when he wasn't a September call-up. But by the time this card was issued, he had already been dealt to the Brewers in June 1971.
Can ya dig it: This is the last time that Heise is referred to as "Bob" on his cards. After this, he's "Bobby."
Right on: One of those people who dots his eyes with a circle. I notice that on his 1975 Topps card he doesn't do that.
You see that cat Heise is a bad mother: Heise played for the AL champion Boston Red Sox in 1975, although he didn't get into the postseason. During a doubleheader against the Indians in July of that year, he went 4-for-7 with five runs batted in.
Shut your mouth: Heise hit the only home run of his career off of the Padres' Danny Coombs while playing for the Giants. He received a phonograph record of the home run call.
No one understands him but his woman: Heise played for four pennant-winning teams -- the 1969 Mets, 1971 Giants, 1975 Red Sox and 1977 Royals but never made the postseason.
(A word about the back): Heise's position is listed as "infield" and in 1970 he did play second, shortstop and two games at third.
