Adam Greenberg is Back Playing Ball
Don't call it a comeback. He's been here for years.
According to the Hartford Courant (and, obviously, his Twitter account), Adam Greenberg is back in professional baseball. This time, however, it's not back to the bigs for "one at bat"...it's back to Bridgeport.
Greenberg hit .255 with 126 stolen bases spread across parts of four seasons...

Baltimore Orioles scouting the independent leagues hard
The best place for an Independent Baseball fan to hang out this month—at least aside from a major league spring training site where many a hopeful is playing—might be at the Buck O’Neil Baseball Complex on the south side of Sarasota, FL.

Mets Card of the Week: 2013 Topps Set
2013 TOPPS SET
Bought a box of the new 2013 Topps baseball cards, and I thought I’d share some of the highlights. Forgive me in advance if this week’s entry is less Mets-centric than the average post. (I fear that this happy recap might even take a brief detour or two into the Bronx.)
COLLATION
I received 90% of the total set in my box, with not a double in sight. Such ruthlessly...
Adam Greenberg’s Old Company; Or, a John Rheinecker Tale of Heartbreak
You’re familiar with the story of Adam Greenberg, even if you’d completely forgotten about it until just now. Greenberg made his major-league debut in 2005, and he was hit in the head by the very first pitch that he saw. Greenberg sustained a concussion, and until 2012, that represented the entirety of his big-league career. Eventually, there was a petition to get Greenberg another...

Orioles101 Sits Down with Recently Signed Baltimore Orioles Outfielder Adam Greenberg
The Baltimore Orioles have made a slew of minor league signings this offseason, but perhaps none more exciting than that of Adam Greenberg. Adam was kind enough to take some time for Orioles101 and respond to a few questions for our readers.
First, if you have not heard of Adam or his story, it is remarkable. Greenberg was drafted in the ninth round of the 2002 MLB Draft by the Chicago...
Adam Greenberg Gets One More Actual Chance
He can't believe it eitherOnce upon a time. I was a baseball player. I had baseball playing friends, baseball playing good times and baseball playing habits. I had a dream, just like every other 10 year old out there, to play in the big leagues one day. I was going to be a star. Then this crazy thing called reality happened. Luckily for me, it wasn't a heat seeking baseball...
Orioles sign Adam Greenberg
Adam Greenberg may get another big league at-bat after all. The Baltimore Orioles have signed Greenberg to a minor league contract. In 2005 Greenberg was hit in the head by Florida Marlins pitcher Valerio De Los Santos in his first big league at-bat. Greenberg never returned to the Cubs and eventually flamed out in the minors. Last year an online petition was started in order to...

Adam Greenberg & Others Who Got a Second Chance
As Bradley Woodrum wrote a week ago, Adam Greenberg finally got a second chance in the majors, thanks to a petition on Change.org. He struck out in three pitches against R.A. Dickey, but there’s little shame in that. He approached it like a big leaguer: “He beat me last night, but I’m really hopeful that last night isn’t the last night we’re going to face each other....
Adam Greenberg swore by deer antler velvet during his recovery
By now many of you have heard the story of Adam Greenberg, the former Major League baseball player whose career was cut short after he was drilled in the head with a fastball during his first MLB at-bat. Greenberg’s road to recovery has been long and challenging. Aside from the one memorable at-bat the Marlins gave him on Tuesday night, he has been unable to achieve his goal...
Marlins Whiffed on Greenberg
So Adam Greenberg got his at-bat, striking out on three R.A. Dickey knuckleballs Tuesday night.
- The fact that he got another at-bat, great. I was actually very happy for the guy.
- The fact that the whole Greenberg campaign started with a Cubs fan, corny. Cubs fans are just freakin’ lame. As a Cubs fan friend of mine says, “You can literally make Cub fans do anything”.

Big and Little Enos (the two idiots that run the hapless franchise) didn’t do very well this year. They really only got one thing right this year and it took them 161 games to achieve it.

I don’t think the Vikings are super awesome yet. This means I am an idiot. Everyone have that our of their system? All right, fantastic.
Tom Brady is just too classy for Buffalo.
This own goal really hurt. Physically, I mean, not just emotionally.
Adam Greenberg, hit in the head in the only MLB game he had every played to that point, gets another at bat.
