Rookie hazing

Yabu and Flores in hazing

Man, I always knew Barry Zito had a rep for being a huge prankster, but he really went all out in organising the Oakland As rookie hazing - getting everyone costumes and all:
The A's annual hazing tradition of making rookies don outlandish outfits for a day continued Sunday, bringing a literal application to one of the players' most frequently used sayings: "Wear it."

...

"We're having the bus stop five blocks away from the hotel, too," Zito said. "So they'll be walking the streets of Cleveland all pimped out."
That's Keiichi Yabu and Ron Flores all dressed up. (Via Blue Cats and Red Sox)

those costumes are mild compared to what Zito wore when he was a rookie...i mean it was AWFUL!!!

Zito of course was all into it...the weirdo that he is...even his everyday attire looks like something out of Saturday Night Fever

BTW, as of this writing, my A's are up 6-2 against you Bosox...we won't win the wild card race (Eric Chavez has already declared Cleveland the winner), but any win in this four game series is a bonus because we are within striking distance against the Angels.

For this week, we are enemies! :) And I really didn't know people actually used the phrase "BoSox".

Zito had to wear a bridal gown, right?
