🚨 Injuries happen in baseball—but a sneeze? In this episode of Pastball, we dive into one of the strangest DL stints in MLB history. It was 2004, and Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa, known for launching baseballs into the stratosphere, found himself sidelined by an unexpected foe… his own sneeze.

💨 One mighty achoo! and Sosa strained his back so badly he had to miss games. How does something like that even happen? What’s the science behind a “sneeze strain”? And is this the weirdest baseball injury ever—or does Pastball have an even stranger one up its sleeve?

⚾ Tune in as we break down the absurdity, the aftermath, and where this ranks among baseball’s wildest, most bizarre injuries.
