    >Seven years, two months and 24 days after Greenberg's major league career began and seemed over on just one pitch, the now-31-year-old outfielder is to get another plate appearance on Tuesday, thanks to the Miami Marlins and a long-shot national campaign initiated by an imaginative fan on a lark.

    Greenberg was felled by a pitch to the head in his only major league at-bat to date.

    "I'm ready," Greenberg said on the NBC "Today" show Thursday, holding back tears as David Samson, general manager of the last-place Marlins, offered him a one-day contract.

    The Marlins received approval from MLB commissioner Bud Selig to give Greenberg a plate appearance next week. Miami will host the New York Mets, who are scheduled to start knuckleballer R.A. Dickey.<

    I think it's great that he'll get the chance to live his dream.

    And if RA is in complete control of the game I hope he grooves a "slow" fastball so the kid has a good chance for a hit.
