Heels in the League 08/19/09 (MLB)
(MLB) - 08/19/09
Short edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) this evening (due to the time). However be sure that tomorrow all the ex Diamond Heels will be featured once again. Overall not a bad day for the batters that arrived from Chapel Hill, while none of the ex UNC pitchers got any action on the day. Stay tuned, either tomorrow or over the weekend, for an update on both Dustin Ackley and Alex White as I have procured an interview with a Indians’ blog for the latter. Until then, enjoy this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games of July 19, 2009…
