In this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) the ex players from Chapel Hill were once again not at their best. In the Majors two out of four of the teams with a touch of carolina blue were off, while the other two did ok. On the other hand in the minors there were plenty of below par performances, with the cherry on the top being an 0 for 5 outing. On the other hand, there was an ex Heel coming back on the field and having a good game overall. And it’s all right here on “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games from June 12, 2009…
