Great Sports Injuries

From the Detroit Free Press

Guitar video game hurt Zumaya's arm
The Tigers are satisfied they won't see a recurrence of the right wrist and forearm inflammation that sidelined Joel Zumaya for three games of the American League Championship Series.

...the team had concluded Zumaya's injury resulted from playing [Guitar Hero], not from his powerful throwing motion.

In the rankings of greatest baseball injuries ever, this ranks second only to Marty Cordova - the player who fell asleep in a tanning booth and had to miss several games because of his injuries.

Can't believe Zumaya can throw a fastball 100 mph... but can't rock the Playstation.
