Russell Frederick Heman (born February 10, 1933) is an American former Major League Baseball relief pitcher. The 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m), 200 lb (91 kg) right-hander was signed by the Chicago White Sox as an amateur free agent before the 1952 season. He went 34-34 with a 4.07 earned run average in four seasons in their farm system when he was dealt to the Baltimore Orioles on January 31, 1958. The White Sox had sent Larry Doby, Jack Harshman and Jim Marshall to the Orioles for Billy Goodman, Tito Francona and Ray Moore on December 3, 1957. When it was discovered by the Orioles that Harshman was suffering from a slipped disc, Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick ordered the Chisox to send either $20,000 or an acceptable player to the Orioles. Heman was sent to Baltimore to complete this deal.
