Reds HOFer Sean Casey Reportedly Suffers Torn Hamstring Injury With Savannah Bananas

Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer Sean Casey tore his hamstring during his Savannah Bananas on Saturday while rounding first base after a ball sent him there, per FanDuel Sports Network's Jim Day (h/t The Enquirer).

The injury appeared to occur just after he rounded the bag, just one day after the 50-year-old made his debut with the team.

"It is real when you're running and you're 51 years of age," Day said during the broadcast on Saturday. "He got a massive ovation. And he was at the plate. And he was rounding first base, thinking about going to second. And the crowd was cheering him on. Now he grabbed his hamstring. I thought he was just playing to the crowd. You know like, 'Hey, I'm an older guy and it's hard for me to run.' Turns out he completely tore his hamstring. He completely tore the hamstring off the bone. He's got surgery this week. Took one for the team. … We wish Sean Casey the best. That's a tough one right there."

The former MLB All-Star took to social media after his debut Friday, sharing his excitement about joining the team.

"What a moment to have one more AB in front of the greatest fans in the world last night in Cincinnati!!," Casey wrote. "Thx to (The Savannah Bananas) n (Jesse Cole) for the opportunity! Banana Ball is so fun, what an experience! I was hoping for one more double in the gap, but I’ll take the walk for the team n tight morning hammy. Loved my man (Danny Graves) on the call."

The 12-year MLB veteran is expected to undergo surgery to repair the torn hamstring.
