I mentioned Adam Greenberg in a previous blog entry about his quest to get one at-bat in the major leagues after getting hit in the head seven years ago in his first major league plant appearance.
Now here is the update - Adam Greenberg went up to bat as a pinch hitter at the top of the sixth inning, and struck out on three pitches against Mets pitcher and Cy Young award candidate R.A. Dickey. He took strike one and swung at the next two pitches. All three pitches that he faced were knuckleballs, which is a Dickey specialty.
Even better, Topps is issuing a 2013 baseball card for him.
The Marlins did end up winning the game, 4-3, denying Dickey his 21st win.
