September 28, 2012 — Imagine if the best moment of your life happened at the exact same instant as the worst moment of your life.
It doesn’t happen often, but that’s what happened to Adam Greenberg.
He was a 24-year old baseball player who was a fraction of a second away from fulfilling his childhood dream of playing Major League baseball.
9-year old Eoin M. (pronounced Oh-en) was so inspired by what happened next, he told HTE about the story … and did a brilliant job writing it up for you. There’s video and a link about the story below, too. Great job, Eoin! Thanks!

What are some of Adam’s hobbies?
