how to embarass your teammates

It’s that time of year, you know when you get to make your teammates look like complete asses by dressing them up in embarrassing costumes. Well thanks to this post, I see the Rays have decided to go with a hodgepodge of crazy outfits, but I much more prefer the theme hazing. Expanding on last year’s ideas, here are some more ways to make your teammates fell like their 2 feet tall.



Making guys dress up like ladies is cliché, yet always entertaining. Somehow, these guys just can’t pull off Carmen Miranda like Rupal so instead I say why not go for the cast of “Golden Girls.” I’m sure when you’re a 23 year old star athlete you can easily use your anger towards your teammates for making you look like an 85 year old to pull off a great Sophia. And you have a small structured purse which could be used a weapon to boot.

Last year the Yankees made their young stars dress like the cast of the Wizard of Oz, one of my most favorite hazing outfits. This year, however, I say why not force your friends to wear roller skates and enter the wonderful world of “Xanadu.”

It’s already an institution at Yankee Stadium, seventh inning stretch, the music begins to blare from the speakers, the grounds crew take to the field, thrusting their fists towards the dirt, then it starts…”Yo man…” Unfortunately this routine is missing one small but very uncomfortable yet very important element, costumes. Bring on the Village people. I mean, who doesn’t want to wear a headdress? -- Of course in my dreams, the players would replace the grounds crew as a part of a thrilling send-off to Yankee Stadium, but I know logistically it would be difficult.

I was unaware that there were still people who not only liked but actually look up to Paris Hilton. What is this, 2002? But in honor of those seriously deranged folks, why not have a fleet of Hilton look a likes complete with small dog in tow.

So back in the day when I was in high school they’d make all the underclassman that made varsity wear poorly positioned make-up all over their face, some tattered clothing and at some point break out into either dance or song in their ritual hazing. Hmm…this description kind of reminds me a music video from the 80s. Could it be “Thriller?” And remember, we’re not just talking the walking zombies, someone’s going to have to don the red varsity jacket and play Michael, another would have to play the naïve female lead in here complete 1950s garb and then there’s the also the teen wolf Michael to consider plus the red leather jacket Michael. There are just so many options
