In 1987 , Saldaña suffered one of the most gruesome injuries in the PBA when he overextended and violently twisted his knee when he landed badly while trying to block a shot attempt by , ironically , his namesake Marte Saldańa , then of Hills Bros . Coffee . He , however , miraculously recovered from what many perceived as a career-ending injury and even went on to play for at least 16 seasons in the PBA as a power forward . He may have been a journeyman , having played for at least six different PBA teams but there ’s no denying how coaches appreciated his game . In his late 30 ′ s , he remained a key player for Gordon ’s Gin ’s successful championship bid in the 1997 PBA Commissioner 's Cup Finals against Alaska . In 2000 , he suited up for Red Bull when he was about 42 years old , one of the very few PBA players to play at age 40
