PICTURE: Must Be Time To Haze The Rookies

Rookie Hazing 1 Comment »

It is the last roadtrip of the season. And that means it is time to embarass the rookies by making them wear crazy outfits on their plane ride to Baltimore. Last year, the veterans had Reid Brignac dress like a vibrator. This year we don’t get anything that crazy.

[ROOKIE HAZING] Rays 2009 Rookie Hazing Could Get Very Interesting

Remember those high-end, SoHo t-shirts that Joe Maddon had all the players wearing towards the end of the season? They were “Ed Hardy” t-shirts and run about $200 a pop.

Well, apparently “Ed Hardy” makes more than t-shirts. The fashion clothier recently debuted their new line of lingerie with a fashion show (NSFW?).

Not sure if these are really our bag, but we do know that Matt Garza would have looked much better in this, than dressed as a chalupa, as he was during this year’s hazing. Then again, these outfits have Jeff Niemann written all over them. Do they come in “giraffe” size?
