My son plays in the same aau program that Adam played in so we have been following and rooting for Adam for many years. I am pleased that he will get this shot but am disappointed it took this long and that it has to be a "special situation".

However what nobody has mentioned in this thread is Greenberg was hit on purpose by the Marlins pitcher de Los santos. Greenberg got called up from double a (not triple a) because of some issues the cubs were having with one of de Los santos countrymen. They sent down this countryman of de Los santos and he threw a message pitch to Greenberg in response. He did not plan on ending his career but he did throw at his head on purpose.

The marlins have some obligation here since it was there guy who threw the pitch. And also in case you didn't know, de Los santos never threw another pitch as a marlin. They knew what he did and shipped him out.
