MENINGITIS OUTBREAK-VIDBOX

IN TENNESSEE, DOCTORS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT A RECENT OUTBREAK OF MENINGITIS.

SO FAR, 14 CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED-

TWO PEOPLE HAVE DIED.

DOCTORS SAY THE OUTBREAK IS LINKED TO AN OUTPATIENT CLINIC THAT USED STEROID INJECTIONS TO TREAT PAIN.

MENINGITIS OUTBREAK-PKG

"This is st. thomas. checking on our patients"

THIS IS THE VOICEMAIL MESSAGE A PATIENT NAMED "LAURIE" RECEIVED -- AFTER GETTING A ROUTINE STEROID INJECTION TO TREAT HER CHRONIC PAIN.

"I have 2 bulging discs. They sit on a main nerve that runs through my leg. They wanted to go in and put this steroid in."

WHAT THE VOICEMAIL DID NOT ADDRESS -- WAS THAT LAURIE WAS ONE OF HUNDREDS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN GIVEN MEDICINE CONTAMINATED WITH A DEADLY FUNGUS CALLED as-puh-JILL-uhs.

IT APPEARS THAT FUNGUS HAS LEAD TO AN OUTBREAK OF A RARE FORM OF MENINGITIS AMONG PATIENTS AT THIS OUTPATIENT NEURO-SURGERY FACILITY IN TENNESSEE.

"This is an evolving situation, and the data and materials are being continuously reviewed."

WHAT INVESTIGATORS DO KNOW -- IS THAT THE CONTAMINATED STEROID CAME FROM A COMPOUNDING PHARMACY IN THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE U-S. AND WAS SENT TO A NUMBER OF PAIN CLINICS IN 23 STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

OFFICIALS ARE NOT DIVULGING THE NAME OF THE PHARMACY OR WHICH CLINICS IN WHICH STATES ARE IMPACTED. BUT INFECTIOUS DISEASE EXPERTS AT THE EPICENTER OF THE OUTBREAK SAY THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM IS WIDE.

"Many patients have been exposed and they're all now in the process of being contacted, they're being informed and they're being told that if they have any kind of symptom they should immediately seek medical care."

THOSE SYMPTOMS INCLUDE SEVERE HEADACHES, NAUSEA, STIFF NECKS. SLURRED SPEECH. EVEN STROKES.

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

The stream of tropical moisture that brought on and off rain Tuesday is still flowing through Southwest Florida, keeping a good chance for scattered showers and storms in our forecast.

Through the mid day hours, temperatures will warm into the lower 80s, as a bit more sunshine is filtering through the clouds. As the atmosphere heats up into the afternoon and highs reach the mid to upper 80s, more showers and storms will start to build and develop. Like yesterday, some of the rain will be heavy at times, and we'll even see thunderstorms in the mix, too.

A strong steering flow from south to north will keep the rain that develops moving northward pretty swiftly, and we'll continue to squeeze in lots of dry, sunny spells in between the passing downpours. Overall, our rain chances will be close to 60%, so most of us should expect to see rain at some point during the day.

A few showers will continue to roam into Southwest Florida this evening and tonight, and the air will stay quite mild and muggy once again. Low temperatures should only cool into the mid to upper 70s through the overnight into early Thursday morning.

Thursday will be the day we start to see improvements, but scattered showers and storms will still make an appearance. The change we'll notice is a trend away from the morning rain with the best chance of rain coming during the afternoon and evening. The rain coverage will also drop a bit, going from 60% today to 40% Thursday. We also expect to see more sunshine and as a result, temperatures will warm into the low 90s.

Friday will feature another round of scattered afternoon and evening rain, but the first half of the day will be sunny and mostly dry; afternoon highs will climb into the low 90s.

As we head into the upcoming weekend, expect a more normal weather pattern across Southwest Florida with morning sun, afternoon storms, and highs staying in the low 90s.

A BASEBALL PLAYER GETS A SECOND CHANCE AFTER HIS CAREER WAS SHATTERED 7 YEARS AGO.

ADAM GREENBERG WAS HIT IN THE HEAD DURING HIS FIRST AT-BAT WHILE PLAYING FOR THE CHICAGO CUBS.

LAST NIGHT, HE WAS GIVEN ANOTHER SHOT -- AND STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE FOR THE MIAMI MARLINS.

MLB PLAYER SECOND CHANCE-PKG

NATSOT ANNOUNCER "GREENBERG IS ON DECK AND READY FOR HIS ONE AT BAT."

A standing ovation, as Adam Greenberg, the man who wouldn't take no for an answer, capturing the imagination of fans and non-fans alike, finally stepped up to the plate.

But first let's rewind the story to 2005 -- to explain how it took so long for a player drafted to the majors - to finally get a chance to swing at a ball

NATSOT ANNOUNCER: "ADAM GREENBERG WILL BE THE BATTER."

In that major league debut.Adam went to bat for the chicago cubs - on the first pitch FROM THE MARLINS PICTHER, in a split second the career that was to begin - ended.

NATSOT HIT BY PITCH/ANNOUNCER:

"OH MY GOODNESS./EDIT/

LET'S HOPE HE'S OK."

It would turn out Adam was not ok. A 92 mile per hour fast ball left him with a severe head injury.

SOT ADAM:

ANYTIME I'D LEAN MY HEAD BACK MY EYES WOULD SHIFT UNCONTROLLABLY OUT OF PLACE AND I WOULD BE LEFT WITH A MIGRAINE TYPE SYMPTON FOR HOURS AT END

NATSOT: -batters cage-

For years, Adam battled back.

And then Matt Liston -- just a fan with a video camera - and a big dream called Adam and said: let's get your "one at bat."

NATSOT: "ONE AT BAT FOR GREENIE."

An online campaign led to an offer from the miami marlins here on TODAY.

NATSOT SAMPSON

"WELL ADAM WE'D LIKE TO SIGN YOU TO A ONE DAY CONTRACT."

Tuesday Adam signed THAT one day contract

Held a news conference

"SO THIS IS JUST, THIS IS JUST GREAT."

Took batting practice -- where yes, he hit one out of the park.

And Matt - the fan -- who got this all going.

"WHOO ITS ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS.'

Which brings us to this moment.

Adam back at bat.

NATSOT: -PLAY BY PLAY-

"ADAM GREENBERG IN THE BOX AND HERE WE GO."

"FIRST PITCH STRIKE ONE."

"DICKEY OH ONE PITCH AND GREENBERG TAKES A SWING AND A MISS.

"OH-TWO PITCH - SWING AND A MISS AND HE STRIKES OUT."

No hits. No home runs.
