A very slow day for the ex Diamond Heels, with three out of four of the Major League teams with a touch of carolina blue off. Also several teams in the minors with ex Carolina players were off. On the other hand, the players that did get on the field had ok performances. It’s all right here on this edition of the “Heels in the Leauge” (MLB) for June 22, 2009. The schedule should go back to normal and more ex Tar Heels should get to see the field, and that means there will be much more in the next “Heels in the Leauge” (MLB), but for now enjoy this edition for 06/22/09…
