Yesterday’s game in both the Major and minors had plenty of excitement when it comes to the ex Diamond Heels, including a three run homer by Major Leaguer Chris Iannetta (Rockies). In the minor leagues there were several ex Carolina players getting multiple hit games and extra base hits. That and much more all right here, on The Fifth Corner, in this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games from July 14, 2009.
