You see, when you’re a rookie in MLB there is a certain hazing process. The junior member of the bullpen is responsible for bringing out the snacks. The snacks usually reside in a Dora the Explorer backpack or something similar. But if you’re fortunate enough to be on a roster for the last roadtrip of the season, you get to wear something fancy. Curtis Granderson is kind enough to share the lineup.

Freddy Dolsi — French maid
Armando Galarraga — Cha Cha girl
Chris Lambert — Bridezilla
Clay Rapada — Female cop
Dusty Ryan — Caveman with a club
Dane Sardinha — Hercules
Jeff Larrish — She-devil
Matt Joyce — Neverland fairy

Now if only he’ll be kind enough to share photos.

By the way, Fossum isn’t a rookie, but he should be forced to dress up in something as well.

Here’s an idea… how ’bout the Tigers dress up as a BASEBALL TEAM?

I am so frustrated with this season.

Don’t worry, Jim, they have the hazing/cultural stuff down, and baseball players say that is really important. Victory is sure to follow!

Rookie dress-up day is the thought that’s kept me going ever since late August. A winning (or post-season) year is still better every time, but rookie dress-up day makes it sting a little bit less.

The Padres already posted pictures from their dress up day.

Why do the catchers get to dress up as macho male characters when everyone else is a female?
Clete Thomas gets a pass because of his injury. I’ll bet he hopes next year everyone will forget to include him.

haha did anyone else see the pics of them dressed up during the game? Joyce looked alittle too content being dressed up as a bright green fairy..lol Talk about Fugly

Amanda: luckily Joyce looked like a fairy and not a Mallard. Personally I thought it was a bit too much like the Inge Peter Pan outfit.

Ya it did look a lot like a Peter Pan outfit. Tinkerbell? Well the costume did have wings…
I’ve been known to take shots at other feathered friends :)
