Highlights

 * Hit for the cycle on June 13, 1918.

 * On August 25, 1922, when the Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies played to a 26–23 Cubs win, Heathcote set a modern National League record by reaching base seven times in a nine-inning game, and set the record (which has since been surpassed) for most runs scored in a single major league game. He went 5-for-5 (3 singles, 2 doubles) that day, also walking twice, while driving in four runs and scoring five.
