A Kingston High School grad who spent his childhood watching the NY Mets will instead have the Hudson Valley watch him take the field as he makes the Mets Opening Day roster!
Major League Baseball can be a cruel business. Sometimes the timing seems awful. A former budding star for the New York Yankees found that out again on Friday at the Stadium.
There are crimes and then there are crimes that seem to reach beyond the scope of humanity. This is one of those cases. The monster in this instance is an ex-major league pitcher. Former New York Yankees right handed pitcher Sergio Mitre is going to be behind bars for a very long time, but not long enough for many.
In 2005 the Chicago Cubs called up 24 year old minor leaguer Adam Greenberg for a game against the Florida Marlins. A dream come true for any minor leaguer but sadly Adam was hit in the head by a pitch in his first at bat and suffered a career ending injury. Thankfully the story doesn't end there.
