Jeff Heath
FameRank: 6

"John Geoffrey "Jeff" Heath" was a Canada/Canadian-born United States/American left fielder in Major League Baseball (MLB) who played most of his career for the Cleveland Indians.

He was one of the American League's most promising power hitters of the late 1930s and early 1940s, twice led the AL in triple (baseball)/triples, and batting average/batted at least .340 with over 100 runs batted in (RBIs) each time. In 1941 he was selected to his first 1941 Major League Baseball All-Star Game/All-Star Game and that same season became the first player from the American League to become a member of the 20–20–20 club when he hit 20 each of doubles, triples and home runs in the same season. His other All-Star Game selections were in 1943 Major League Baseball All-Star Game/1943 and 1945 Major League Baseball All-Star Game/1945.

Chad is the other part of the puzzle for us. We expect him to take care of the ball and distribute it. He runs the show.

A lot of people will tell you it takes some luck on the way. I don't think anybody walks straight to a title without some of it.

That's a good ball team we just beat. I scouted them last week when they lost to Alabama's No. 1 team in overtime on the road. They can really shoot it and really play, so this was a good win for us.

It seems so surreal to me right now, what we have done. To beat a team like Provine, you have to bring your 'A' game. Our guys were more than ready tonight.

It's a team effort, but we're not where we are right now without Travis. What he did down the stretch is incredible.

Hopefully we won't be awestruck. I think (the 5A state championship) is up for grabs. I think it's been that way all year. I think it's anybody's game in there.

To be able to win the way we did against a great team and great coach ... . We planned to play that way, but to come through with a game like this when we most needed it was incredible. It seems really surreal right now.
