Once again the head to head match up between two ex Diamond Heels in the Majors doesn’t come to fruition as the pitcher in this one does not get to see any action. For that matter only one of the three ex Heels in the Big Leagues got to play today. In the minors not much to report besides a double header in Double A which has the ex UNC player going 0 for 6. All of this and much more is in this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB). (On a side note I was getting closer and closer to catching up and then real life once again stepped in with other problems. I plan on staying home this weekend to get all of this daily posts back on track).
