Still several head to head match ups (one in the Major and a couple in the minors). A so-so day for the Major Leaguers, but nothing special. In the minors not much that stood out, with many games rained out or not played due to wet grounds. And it’s all right here on The Fifth Corner, with the newest edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the last day of June. As I said before, I am going to work very hard to get this post back on par (which I had until the 4th of July ruined it), and then keep it going on a daily post…
