Heels in the League 07/22/09 (MLB)
07/22/09
Not a great day for the ex Diamond Heels. In the Majors, after having struggled for most of the year, one of the pitchers has been sent down to the Triple A club. On the field, the three players from Double A went 1 for 14 combined (.0714 batting average), with five strike outs. The only batter in the Majors today didn’t do better, as he went 0 for 5 with two strike outs. But, there is also a bit of good in this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB), so check it out and judge for yourself…
