Wallingford Welcomes Major League Baseball Player Adam Greenberg

Major League Baseball player Adam Greenberg will speak to Wallingford students on November 1, 2012.

 

On November 1 at 6:30 p.m. in the Lyman Hall High School auditorium - Adam Greenberg, a native of Guilford, CT, will be speaking to Wallingford's collective student body.

Adam, the major league baseball player who was struck by the first pitch in his first at bat appearance in 2005, made national news a few weeks ago with his “One at Bat” with the Florida Marlins. His timely story along with his inspiring message is one the students will benefit from.  He is an incredibly good speaker and his message is one that every child should hear.  “Fight for your dreams, never give up, set goals and accomplish them!”
