Very nice gesture by the Marlins.

Anyone else thinking he can hit better than some of the players already on the roster.

He's probably better than Gorkys, Petersen, Buck, and Velazquez....

MLB tweeted: "Greenberg will record his first official MLB at-bat on Oct 2 vs Mets."

 

But what if he walks?!

with how this season has gone he'll probably get hit in the head again and go blind or something awful. Here's hoping he has a nice long AB though!

IBB.

 

How f***ed up would that be?

Just let him play the whole game. It's not like we are going to do much worse.

the Mets might be capable of something like that lol

Could you imagine if he hits a HR to CF?

Finally some good publicity?!

Also, Marlins General Manager David Samson -- really, ESPN?

 

Also also, from Jew to Jew.

You didn't hear the news?

Im hoping he singles!

Really cool that the Marlins did this.

I don't like it.

Anyone know how this works $ wise? Do they just give him a pro-rated salary? Edit: I heard he is going to give whatever he gets to charity.

I don't like it.

 

 

Because you don't like good stories about doing something nice for someone who had his dream taken away?

Anyone know how this works $ wise? Do they just give him a pro-rated salary? Is he doing it for free?

 

 

I saw a tweet saying he was donating his 1-day salary to charity.

loria is such a fraud. this was all for his pr. OF COURSE he comes into the room in the middle of Greenberg's conference call with the media.

 

He also sought out the media about the Fredi comments, not the other way around.

Of course it's mostly for PR. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. It's still a nice thing to do for Greenberg. The friggin Cubs didn't even offer!

That was the saddest part. Due to the way his career was cut short, they should have given him every opportunity to get that one last AB in the Majors.

 

No wonder the Cubs have been cursed since 1908.

The Marlins get some positive PR out of it, how does this make it any less special for Greenburg?

 

It is like when people complain that some rich guy gave money just to get his name on a building, so what? The building got built and everyone else gets the benefits.

here's the vid of the today show

 

So I mean what if he like... earns a spot on the roster?
