Heels in the League 08/15/09 (MLB)
(MLB) - 08/15/09
Not much to report from the Majors as just one out of the three ex Diamond Heels got to see any action, while in the minors plenty of good performances from the plate, with an ex Carolina player hitting a homer and a double and many others getting good cuts at the plate. All of that an much more in this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the game from July 15, 2009. If you check the minors you will see that almost all the teams in Single A won their games, something that should also be satisfying to anyone following the ex Tar Heels in the Pro’s.
