Adam Greenberg: podcast appearances and interviews

Adam Daniel Greenberg, born on February 21, 1981, is an American former professional baseball outfielder. He played in Major League Baseball for the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins. Greenberg is notably recognized for being hit in the head during his major league debut on the first pitch of his first plate appearance, resulting in a compound skull fracture. He was one of only two players in league history to be hit by a pitch in his only plate appearance without ever taking the field. In 2012, following a successful online petition, Greenberg was signed by the Miami Marlins to a one-day contract, during which he had one at-bat and struck out on three pitches. He also signed a minor league contract with the Baltimore Orioles in 2013, though the contract was not pursued. Beyond his time in the major leagues, Greenberg played parts of five seasons with the Bridgeport Bluefish of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, near his hometown. His career includes both major league appearances and a significant presence in independent league baseball.
