Worst- Pitch- Ever.

Well, we've seen it, the worst pitch of the baseball season. I don't see how another pitch will surpass it -- unless Kenny Rogers takes chair-throwing lessons from teammate Frank Francisco -- so I'm sticking it straight onto the postseason awards list.

After a thousand-odd minor league at-bats (standard protocol -- this ain't no NBA) Cubs prospect Adam Greenberg got the call and stepped to the plate in Florida, ready for the first pitch of his Major League career. Think of dear Mrs. Greenberg, nearly toppling her blintzes as she rushes to the TV back in New Haven. Valerio de los Santos looks in, winds, and throws. Greenberg gets a great look at it -- before it drills him in the head.

Ouch. And if you've never tried it, take it from me, that'll stun you some.

So what does Chicago do? They do what any terrible franchise would do.

They call up Ben Grieve.
