1 chance, 1 pitch, 1 dream deferred

Posted Jun 8, 2006

Adam Greenberg, at a glance, has little in common with the real-life Archie Graham, other than identical initials and a quirk of fate that both attended the University of North Carolina. Yet on a fateful July 9, 2005, the first and only time Greenberg was seen in a major-league game, the very first pitch thrown his way struck the young Cub in the helmet. He has not been in a game since. (Chicago Tribune)
