Heels in the League 06/28/09 (MLB)
06/28/09
Several head to head series going on in the minors, while in the Majors both of the ex pitchers from Chapel Hill got to see some action. Overall a so-so day for the ex Diamond Heels, but that is my opion, you can make your own by checking out the small recaps below for all the 21 players. And another ex Tar Heel, catcher Mark Fluery (picked in the fourth round by the Reds), will be joining the pro ranks soon as well. Making the number of the Carolina players playing professional baseball twenty-two in all. So, sit back and relax as you enjoy this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB)…
