Detroit Tigers pitcher Joel Zumaya missed three games in the American League Championship Series this past October for forearm inflammation which has been discovered to be the result of playing Guitar Hero according to The Detroit Free Press.

Many at the time suspected the injury to simply be the result of the wear and tear of the season. Trainers, however, were reportedly confused as the injury did not appear to be the result of a pitching motion but that of playing a guitar. The team quickly realized Zumaya’s addiction to Guitar Hero was the cause and asked him to stop playing the game which resulted in him pitching without pain in the World Series.
