Johnnie Heving

John Aloysius Heving (April 29, 1896 - December 24, 1968) was a catcher who played in Major League Baseball between 1920 and 1932. Heving batted and threw right handed. He was born in Covington, Kentucky. His younger brother, Joe, was a major league pitcher from 1930-45. A non-power hitting backup catcher, Heving reached the majors in 1920 with the St. Louis Browns, spending one year with them before moving to the Boston Red Sox (1924-25, 1928-30) and Philadelphia Athletics (1931-32). His most productive season came in 1929 with Boston, when he posted a career-high .319 batting average in 76 games played.

In an eight-season career, Heving was a .265 hitter (261-for-985) with one home run and 90 RBI in 399 games.

Heving died in Salisbury, North Carolina, at the age of 72.
