	Athletes - Adam Greenberg

Adam Greenberg (born February 21, 1981 in New Haven, CT) is a rookie outfielder with the Chicago Cubs.

Currently his Major League career consists of a single plate appearance against the Florida Marlins on July 9, 2005, in which he was hit in the head by a fastball from Valerio de los Santos while pinch hitting in the ninth inning. Consequently, his on-base percentage is a perfect 1.000, and, having zero at-bats and no chances on defense, he has no batting average or fielding percentage.

While many players have had careers consisting of a single at-bat, it is not yet known if any other players share the distinction of being hit with the only pitch every thrown to them at the major league level. Greenberg spent the rest of the season on the 15-day disabled list.
