Pretty cool news: The Marlins are going to give Adam Greenberg an at-bat next week. Nice gesture by Jeffrey Loria and David Samson...

Might as well, eh?

Yup. Just saw the interview and the news broken on 'Today'. Pretty cool imo. Can't hurt. Great publicity for the Marlins.

They should be the ones doing it anyway since they're the ones who cleaned his clock in the first place.

MLB.com also has a video about his one-day contract with the Marlins to get that AB out of the way:

It'll be against the Mets, Tuesday Oct 2 at 7:10 PM Eastern (6 Central) on FOX Sports Florida. Probably have a video up at some point that night, not sure if he just leads off the game and is replaced soon after or what.

At least it might not hurt as much as that fastball he took off the cerebellum

Hopefully, everybody gets a trophy too

One at-bat coming up. After the commercial break it seems.

Struck out swinging, three pitches. Round of applause.

It was about what you expected...

You know, I've never had a major league AB. When can I expect the petition for me to go through?
