Rick Heiing began his career with the Texas Rangers, mostly in the bullpen, and was largely forgotten after being traded to Florida.  A year later, he was traded back, and it would be far more memorable.

In his second stint with Texas, Heiling would enjoy a season (1998) where he would win 20 games and lead the American League in that category.  Heiling would however give up a lot of Home Runs, but overall was a winning pitcher for Texas with a 68 and 51 record.  Coincidentally, he was with the Marlins again in 2003 when they won the World Series.
