His 1951 batting average (101 games) was .282. Hank had 23 doubles and drove in 48 runs."

"'Heeney' holds the big league fielding record for third basemen with a .988 mark, set in 1947. Since he started in pro ball in 1935, he's won the batting crowns of the Three-I League with .345 in 1937 and the International League with .345 in 1942.
A war veteran, Hank has seen service with the Braves, Yankees, White Sox and A's. His top years were 1948 when he hit .310 and drove in 120 runs for the A's, and 1949 when he hit .309 for the White Sox."
