Once again I play catch up with this daily post due to RL committments and other problems outside the blogging world. However, as you can see by the time, I have gotten up early to get back on track with “Heels in the League” (MLB). Today was a packed game as far as games played with teams having a touch of carolina blue, however not many of the ex Diamond Heels took to the field in those games. Plenty of double headers today in the minors (trying to catch up on the many rain outs) and so good plate appearances by certain players in the MiLB. So, sit back and relax as you check out the 05/27/09 edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB)…
