This Day in History: 2000-12-02

December 2, 1974: The Red Sox trade outfielder Tommy Harper to the California Angels for infielder Bob Heise; Harper had played three seasons in Boston and led the American League with 54 stolen bases in 1973, while Heise played only two seasons in Boston as a utility infielder, but with Rice, Lynn and Evans ready to take over, Harper was expendable.
