Pastball Podcast – Episode 123: Glenallen Hill’s Arachnophobia Nightmare

What happens when one of baseball’s most feared sluggers comes face-to-face with his greatest fear? In Episode 123 of Pastball, we dive into one of the strangest, most terrifying injuries in MLB history—the time Glenallen Hill literally ran from a nightmare… and ended up on the injured list.

Hill, a power-hitting outfielder, suffered a freak accident in 1990 when a sleep-induced panic over his severe arachnophobia (fear of spiders) sent him crashing through a glass table—while unconscious! He woke up with cuts, bruises, and a trip to the disabled list, earning him the legendary nickname “Spiderman.”

How did this bizarre incident impact his career? What did his teammates and the media think? And was this truly the weirdest baseball injury of all time? We break it all down with humor, history, and some wild facts you won’t believe.
