Honestly, I don't have a problem with this.  I don't really see the point of it, either, but if it makes some people happy then, well, fine.  Whatever.  I'm certainly not going to flid out about it, man.

Once Greenberg finds out he's playing for Ozzie, he'll quit.

Greenberg recently played for Israel in the World Baseball Classic qualifying round in Jupiter, September 19-23, walking in his only plate appearance.

The Mets should IBB him.

This opens the door to us getting BC an at-bat with the Cubs.

The Mets should IBB him.

Or just hit him in the head.

I thought it would complete the non-at-bat trifecta.  HBP, BB, IBB.

It's just nice to know there are owners like Jeffrey Loria, who are there do the the right thing.

Just to clarify, getting undeserved ABs is cool, nothing to freak out about.
Having strokes, however, is something to celebrate.

Did I do that right?

How about having a stroke during an undeserved at-bat?

Celebrating or laughing at?

The Marlins already clinched that title when the hired Ozzie.

My uninformed opinion.  Loria is Jewish.  Yesterday was Yom Kippur,  the day when Jews are required to ask forgiveness from those whom they have wronged.  To atone is to make things right.  I believe that this was a Yom Kippur gesture since it was a Marlins pitcher who ended the major league career of Adam Greenberg, and turned his career into an anecdote.  Greenberg, is Jewish.  But that should have nothing to do with the obligation.   I approve of the gesture.
