Pastball Podcast – Episode 122: Marty Cordova’s Tanning Bed Mishap
Baseball injuries are common—pulled hamstrings, sore shoulders, even the occasional fastball to the ribs. But getting benched because of a tanning bed? That’s a whole different ballgame.
In Episode 122 of Pastball, we dive into the sunburnt saga of Marty Cordova, the former MLB Rookie of the Year who made headlines for an off-the-field injury that still has baseball fans shaking their heads. One fateful morning in 2002, Cordova dozed off in a tanning bed, only to wake up with burns so bad the team doctors had to sideline him—because sunlight would make it worse.
How does this rank among baseball’s weirdest injuries? And was this just bad luck, or the universe’s way of telling him to stick to the dugout and not the tanning salon?
Join us as we relive this bizarre baseball moment, compare it to other legendary sports mishaps, and ask the ultimate question—was Marty Cordova the victim of bad judgment, or did the baseball gods simply have a twisted sense of humor?
⚾️ Hit play and let’s talk Pastball!
