Cactus League

<p>Jack Heidemann has played in the Arizona Baseball Charities Celebrity Game at Scottsdale Stadium for 20 years. The game benefits Little League teams throughout Arizona and features many former Major Leaguers who live in the East Valley. Heidemann, 62, is pictured during the game Jan. 29 wearing a Cleveland Indians jersey; he was the team's No. 1 Draft Pick in 1967. From 1969 to ‘74, Heidemann, a shortstop, was part of the Indians' famed Keystone Combo with second baseman Eddie Leon. (Photo by Mike Sakal/Tribune)</p>
