Sean Casey shows injury nightmare after one Savannah Bananas at-bat

Just three weeks ago, Sean Casey was at the plate during a Savannah Bananas game at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, his old home for eight MLB seasons. 

Now he is recovering from a torn hamstring after one ill-fated plate appearance — and wearing a huge brace on TV.

The former longtime Reds first baseman was able to run to first base after a walk on four straight pitches, but as Casey rounded first base toward second, he hitched and instantly grabbed his right leg. 

While he was safe at first, Casey had to exit the game due the injury.

No one knew how severe his injury was until Cincinnati announcer Jim Day said during a Reds-Tigers game the following day that Casey “completely tore his hamstring.” 

Ty Schmit of the “Pat McAfee Show” confirmed that Casey was going to have surgery on his hamstring. 

On Wednesday, Casey returned to the “MLB Central” on MLB Network, though he’s been forced to wear a giant brace after his surgery. 

During the show, Casey recapped what happened that night, telling viewers that two of the three hamstring muscles were torn right off the bone as he rounded second. 

“My hammies looked like pulled pork coming out of the smoker,” Casey joked. “Is that a pulled pork sandwich? No, that is my hamstring.”

The 51-year-old also revealed on the show that it was the first time he had been able to sit upright in 19 days.
