1973 Topps #547 Bobby Heise
About Bobby Heise
Milwaukee's new acquisitions, including Don Money, Tim Johnson and Pedro Garcia, cut Heise's work sharply: he played 49 games and hit .204. The Brewers traded him to the Cardinals for Tom Murphy on December 8, 1973. His #547 is a high number from the fifth series and carries the Brewers name.
Bob Heise was a utility infielder who appeared in 499 major league games between 1967 and 1977, playing for seven clubs: the Mets, Giants, Brewers, Cardinals, Angels, Red Sox and Royals. He was born in San Antonio to a military family and grew up in Vacaville, California, where Mets scout Roy Partee signed him after Bud Harrelson spoke up for him. He debuted on September 12, 1967, going 1-for-4 with a single against Atlanta, and hit .323 in 16 games. His only major league home run came June 30, 1970, off Danny Coombs of the Padres at Candlestick Park, in a lineup that also held Bobby Bonds, Willie Mays and Willie McCovey. A bench player on the 1975 Red Sox pennant winner, he had a four-hit, five-RBI day in a July 6 doubleheader at Cleveland. After retiring he served 26 years as a police officer.
