Did you know that Jeff Heath was named one of the 100 Greatest Cleveland Indians Players ever? As part of the club’s 100th Anniversary Celebration in 2001, a panel of veteran baseball writers, historians and executives selected a roster of the Top 100 Greatest Indians and Heath was named one of the twenty-three outfielders.

Jeff Heath (08-27-1949) and Brian McCann (05-17-2011) are the only two players in Major League history to hit a ninth inning game-tying pinch-hit home run and then later win that game with an extra-inning walk-off home run!
