Very small schedule in the Majors, as just one (out of the four players in the MLB) was in action today. Thing being is that he probably would have liked to be off as well, as his team lost on the night and he did not fare well at the plate. In the minors nothing special, with the exceptions being one ex Diamond Heel going yard while another getting a double and triple. And it’s all right here, right now, on The Fifth Corner, in the (not so) daily post called “Heels in the League” (MLB).
