Heels in the League 06/24/09 (MLB)
06/24/09
It’s a great day for the Diamond Heels as the second minor leaguer jumps to the Big League. That now makes five the ex UNC players playing in the Majors, two pitchers, a catcher, a second baseman and a short stop. Guess we can say that the Heels have the middle of the field all taken care of. For how these five MLB’er did, including the two Carolina players having their head to head series, as well as the ones in the minor league, check out this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games of June 24, 2009…
