Hearn was a successful semi-professional baseball player in New York City even in his early teens before attending Bushwick High School. He was nicknamed "Bunny" because of his diminutive size. His contract was purchased by the Boston Braves in December 1925 following a season with the minor league Bridgeport Bears.[2]
He moved to the Tampa Bay area in 1963 from Queens Village, New York after having retired from the Brooklyn Union Gas Company.[3]
