I don't understand the "he doesn't deserve it crowd" who compare themselves to Greenberg. You never made it to the Major Leagues. Neither did any of the players who played in the minors and didn't get an at bat. But Adam Greenberg DID make it to the Major Leagues.
If you have the point of view some people have that this guy doesn't deserve an at bat, you're really not getting it. This was an incredibly nice thing for Major League Baseball to do. It was an even nicer thing for the Marlins to do. All this why not me, why not this guy talk is the total opposite of all the feelings and intentions of the people who made this happen.
