Has got to be one of the best sports injury of all time. I got this news from the Merc: reliever Joel Zumaya of the Detroit Tigers missed three games of the AL championship series against the A's because he was playing too much "Guitar Hero" of Playstation 2, and not because of some pitching motion injury.
Detroit's trainers discovered that Zumaya's forearm pain was more consistent with the action of a guitar player than a pitcher. They prescribed that Zumaya lay off the game and he pitched pain-free during the World Series. Lucky for Zumaya that the trainers were familiar with the pain of a guitar player and not just with athletic injuries.
Dwer, dwer, dweeeerererer!
