Now in catch up mode for my (not so) daily post about the ex Diamond Heels in the Pro’s, here is the second edition for today of “Heels in the League” (MLB). Not as good of an overall performance as the last outing for the ex North Carolina players. On the other hand in this edition we see the only pitcher in the Big Leagues getting an inning of action and doing ok for his squad. This and much more, on The Fifth Corner, in this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games from August 24, 2009…
