""Many people don't get the opportunity to leave home and travel to beautiful places, meet amazing people from so many different backgrounds, all while doing something that they love," Heaney wrote. "I have. I am extremely proud of what I achieved over 10 years of major league service time, 3 Roberto Clemente Award nominations, winning Game 4 of the 2023 World Series, and becoming a World Series Champion in 2023, playing Major League Baseball has been a unique honor and a privilege.""
""I played with many of the greatest players of this generation and potentially some of the best players to ever wear a uniform. I'm humbled that I was even able to share the field with them. I was never an All-Star and definitely not a Hall of Famer, so I can only hope that I was great to each fan, player, coach, and staff member I got to be around.""
""I'm so thankful for all the people involved in making my career more successful than I ever dreamed. I will miss the game greatly, but all of my experiences and the lasting relationships have made me a better person. The routine of showing up to the yard every day and working to improve each time out has been a driving force for me the last 14 seasons.""
