My first thought was: Oh, my stars and garters. My second thought was: I suppose they asked whether they were allowed to wear cups? :-)<br /><br />And, as others have noted, many teams do late season rookie hazings like this, often on a road trip, I believe. I think our guys usually do it on a late season NY trip, because it means parading through a couple of big city train stations all decked out. If memory serves, Ryan Church wore a very fetching French maid outfit, with mesh stockings. :-)<br />natsfan1ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540238101124316529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-78444880190702429792012-09-10T21:58:37.196-04:002012-09-10T21:58:37.196-04:00Kind of cute, in a 45 IQ kind of way.Kind of cute, in a 45 IQ kind of way.Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778638700744221971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-74311758973362701622012-09-10T20:02:16.842-04:002012-09-10T20:02:16.842-04:00It is a must game if the Braves win.

I do remember seeing Detwiler carrying the pink Hello Kitty backpack out to the bullpen before the September games I was at in RFK in 2007, so that team was at least doing some rookie hazing. Perhaps the 2008/2009 teams were so incompetent they couldn't even get rookie hazing right. Who knows?The Real Feel Wood.
