hazing

The Red Sox recently dressed up their rookie class in the annual hazing of first year players. Obliviously this isn’t a first, just look at the many NFL players who came home from training camp with new haircuts this sumer. There have been the multiple Elvis look, the zoot suits and many more, but here are some ideas for the next round of players:

Cheerleader
Everyone loves the whole dress guys like girls look, but this takes it to a whole new level. And we’re not talking classy Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, we’re talking Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders. As seen during last nights Monday Night Football game, these girls decided to wear something similar to what I tan in.

Hooters waitress
An oldie but a goodie. And as an added bonus they can just “borrow” an outfit from last nights' drunken fling.

Dora the Explorer
If you’re going to go the cartoon route why not go for Dora the Explorer? And it can also be a learning experience to bridge the gap between the English speaking and Spanish speaking players. How do you say win-win-win in Spanish?

Hobos
A tribute to our 1930s roots, make your teammate dress up in overalls with holes at the knees covered by patches and maybe a nice flannel top. Add a bandana for authenticity and mention that instead of taking the private jet to the next game they’ll have to hop a ride on the freight train that’s passing through town in exactly 23 minutes.

A Devil Ray
Mention to your teammate that they’ve just gotten traded and they need to change into their new uniform so they can play in their next game. To add to the drama give them a Devil Rays jersey. Nothing says heart attack like going from a first place team to playing in Florida. Although this doesn’t work if you’re playing for the Devil Rays, but I guess playing for the Devil Rays is like a practical joke in itself.

It's been fun blogging with you,
