Southern League Neck

Southern League Neck

Southern League Neck is American professional baseball term for a stiffness of the neck caused by long periods of travel. The term references the long bus rides players must endure while in the minor leagues. Southern League Neck gained notoriety in 2008 when Boston Red Sox Manager Terry Francona used the term to explain why First Baseman Sean Casey did not play in Japan to open the 2008 season, despite making the 18 hour flight.
