A so-so day for most of the ex Diamond Heels in both the Majors and the minors. Nothing really spectacular to report for the pitchers, while the bats seemed to have been silenced on the night. But you be the judge by checking this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games of July 11, 2009. Also, with me being home today, look for at least two more editions of this (not so) daily post. I am bound and determined to catch up now, since this is becoming an endless race that needs to be conquered. But for now enjoy this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB)…
