Great story and also reminds me why I try not to scroll down a page to view its comments. Idiots.

"On the first and only pitch the left-handed-hitting Greenberg faced in the majors on July 9, 2005, he was struck by Marlins left-hander Valerio De Los Santos in the back of the head with a 92-mph fastball. Greenberg, then playing for the Chicago Cubs, fell to the ground. "
I couldn't imagine this scenario happening to anyone - seems fit for a crazy movie though.

Wow. What a story. To have something like that happen in your first plate appearance. It's so tragic.
My one question, though - and this is serious... Wouldn't facing a knuckleballer be a bit scary?

Good for him.
Wouldn't that be something if he got a hit?

If he homers on the first pitch he sees, I can see a movie coming out sometime next fall, about this whole thing.........but it will be on the lifetime channel with some chick flick tone of it....:lol:

The comments in the link are quite disgusting. It makes me sad to see people in society with such low integrity and care for human elements of life. Adam Greenberg is a phenomenal person and athlete, with the right positive energy and drive. He embodies everything that is right with sports and life.
I am proud to be a Greenberg fan, an Israel Baseball fan, and now I have new found respect for the Marlins front office. Whatever he does in his AB will be considered a success in the light of this story.
(.....and yes, I am a tad bit biased, being connected to his family through specific people and being a proud Jew.)

Fixed it for you.
Just an incredible person who just loves the game and life. Greenberg is the spirit of the game.

Glad to see this happen for him. Guy was a great athlete in high school too. A monster on a high school soccer team that (at the time anyway) always seemed to be nationally ranked and a contender for state titles.
He was a good basketball player too.

What time is the game on Tuesday, and will MLB.com be broadcasting it?
I do have Audio so I can listen to it if not.

Great story...hope he does well.
For the record Tuesday will be his first "AB", he is the only player in major league history to have only 1 pitch in 1 plate appearance. Being hit by a pitch does not count as an "AB". So in reality he is getting a shot for his first at bat. Was a documentory done on it and a push to get him his "one at bat". They'll be playing my Mets, but I will be rooting for him. Classy move by the Marlins!

Great move by MLB to give the Marlins a roster exception for this & Marlins to do this since the cubs refused to, after Cubs fans have been asking for it all year! Shows how classless the Cubs are!

If anyone was interested, the free game tonight on MLB.com is MIA vs. NYM.
Adam hasn't hit yet.

He grabbed a helmet, it looks like he is heading out this inning.
