Fantastic story. I've been a Cubs fan my whole life, and always travel to Miami to watch the Cubs against the Marlins. I was at this game, and was anxiously anticipating watching Greenberg play, as I had been following him in the minors. I was just out of high school, and actually attending University of Miami, and was with my family. My dad, brother and I, were so thrilled for him getting his first at-bat, and were remarking "imagine what he's feeling right now, his dream as a little kid is coming true right now". My dad remarked further - saying "He's probably crappin' his pants. Cmon Adam!"
First pitch...
I followed him for a few years here and there, still remembering that gut-wrenching moment vividly from my point of view on the 3rd base side, about 10 rows up.
I'm thrilled for Adam, because he had already proven he was good enough to make it to a major-league club, 7 years younger than he is now.
