Heels in the League 07/09/09 (MLB)
07/09/09
As the All Star break comes closer and closer the games (and Diamond Heels) seem to be less and less. But, as long as any of the ex North Carolina players are in action in the pro’s there will be a recap of it, which is called “Heels in the League” (MLB). Overall in this edition we had a couple of pitchers taking to the mound, one as a starter and one finishing the game, so it might just be the first time that “Heels in the League” (MLB) has more on the hurlers than the batters. Hope you enjoy it, as you check out the games from July 9, 2009…
