NY Yankee's Baseball Team ROOKIE HAZING DAY with Batman Costumes!

Last Sunday, September 20th, the New York Yankee's Baseball Team had their annual "Rookie Hazing Day". I guess it's some kind of tradition or something where they make all the Rookies do stupid stuff, ha ha. Sorry, I'm not really familiar with sports that much but I thought it was great that they made them all dress-up in Batman costumes for the special event!! Just to name a few players: Rookie Pitcher Mark Melancon was Batman, Rookie Shortstop Ramiro Pena as Catwoman, and another Rookie Pitcher, Michael Dunn, dressed as The Riddler. There is also the Joker, The Penguin, etc... But anyway, the costumes are really well done & I think it's fun that they did it. I like their team spirit. I kinda feel sorry for the guy who had to be Catwoman, ha ha. ( Thanks to Gino for sending the link ).

Generally, during a team's last roadtrip of the season, the veterans on the team will steal and hide the rookies' street clothes, replacing them with goofy costumes. Usually, the more embarassing, the better. The rookies will have to wear their new threads as they make their way from destination to destination (from the ballpark to the hotel to the airport, for example).

That's kinda cool that the Yanks went with the Bat-theme.

The Tigers' veterans weren't as cool to their rookies. Pitcher Fu-Te Ni did get to wear a Batgirl costume, however.
