Heels in the League 06/20/09 (MLB)
06/20/09
Great games today for the two Major Leaguers bats, as they went 4 for 7 combined, with two homers, seven RBIs and two runs scored. The minor leaguers also had pretty good games at home plates, with several getting RBIs and scoring runs, with a couple of extra bases hits. All of this, plus much more, in this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games from June 20, 2009. On a side note, with nothing lined up for this evening this should be the day that this (not so) daily post finally catches up. So, sit back and relax, as I give you this (and a couple of more) edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB)…
