Ex-MLB star Sean Casey tore his hamstring during a Savannah Bananas game, facing surgery after a painful exit in Cincinnati.
Former MLB All-Star Sean Casey, now 51, suffered a severe injury during a Savannah Bananas game at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati on Friday night. While running the bases, Casey completely tore his hamstring, detaching it from the bone, according to FanDuel Sports Network broadcaster Jim Day. The injury occurred in the seventh inning when Casey, after reaching first base on a wild pitch, grabbed his hamstring and left the field with a pinch-runner.
The Cincinnati crowd roared with support, unaware of the injury’s severity, thinking Casey was playfully hamming it up. “It’s real when you’re 51 and running,” Day noted, highlighting the physical toll of the entertaining, fast-paced Banana Ball. Casey, ever the team player, took to X to express gratitude for the experience, joking about his “tight morning hammy” and his hope for one last double. Surgery awaits him this week, a tough blow for the beloved Reds legend.
The Savannah Bananas, known for their theatrical spin on baseball, continue to captivate fans, but Casey’s injury underscores the risks even for seasoned pros in this high-energy spectacle.
