Heels in the League 08/11/09 (MLB)
(MLB) - 08/11/09
Once again the whole (or almost the whole) group of ex Tar Heels playing in the pro’s is being check in this (hopefully now) daily post. I know several of the ex are missing, but I will fix that tomorrow and have it all going the right way by the weekend (or even earlier). Until then enjoy this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) and watch for the next edition later this morning (about 11 am or earlier) as I keep up with the players from Chapel Hill now playing in the professional ranks.
