Folks, I can't make this stuff up. Here's my pick for best tech-related injury story of the offseason:
Detroit Tigers General Manager Dave Dombrowski revealed on Wednesday that the forearm stiffness experienced during the ALCS by flame-throwing relief pitcher Joel Zumaya was caused by playing Guitar Hero, not by routinely throwing 100+ mph fastballs. So, for all of you major league relief pitchers out there: Remember to lay off the Guitar Hero during the season, OK? Sadly, the jury is still out on whether Wii Sports Baseball constitutes an acceptable offseason throwing program.
