This is cool: Adam Greenberg had just one at-bat this season, but it was big enough to get him a spot in the 2013 Topps Baseball card series.
Topps made the announcement in a tweet: "Adam Greenberg @Marlins embodies dedication, hard work & persistence, proud he will be part of 2013 Topps Baseball!"
Here is what the card will look like:
Sports fans been drawn to Greenberg's inspiring comeback. Just look at what happened last night in Miami (via AP):
The roaring crowd rose as one when Adam Greenberg walked to the plate for the first time in seven years, and Marlins teammates leaning over the dugout railing joined the applause.
Three strikes later, they were cheering still. Greenberg's second chance in the major leagues went a lot better than the first one, even though he struck out.
"It was magical," he said. "The energy in the stadium was something I never experienced, and I don't know if I will ever experience it again. You could just feel the genuine support. It was awesome."
It's really a great story. If you haven't had a chance, take a moment to look at photos from last night in Miami and read Chuck Culpepper on second chances.
