One of Adam Greenberg’s recent tries to play baseball on a major stage ended prematurely a few days ago when Team Israel bowed out one victory short of qualifying for next spring’s World Baseball Classic, but the outfielder had a major wish granted this very day when the Miami Marlins surprised the 31-year-old during a Today Show appearance that they will sign the Guilford, CT resident to a one day contract and give him his second major league plate appearance against the New York Mets on Tuesday.
Many fans are familiar with the heart-tugging story of Greenberg’s first major league game July 9, 2005 when as a Chicago Cubs pinch hitter the first pitch thrown struck him on the back of the head.
