ADAM GREENBERG RUMORS

Adam Greenberg is Back Playing Ball

Don't call it a comeback.  He's been here for years.

Greenberg was drafted in the ninth round of the 2002 MLB Draft by the Chicago...

Strikeout can't spoil Greenberg's MLB return

MIAMI -- After striking out on three pitches, Adam Greenberg received a standing ovation from fans and high fives from teammates. But Greenberg had to draw the line somewhere.
