We're Off to See The Wizard

It was rookie hazing day following yesterday's game and the result was a riot. With Wizard of Oz as the theme, the Yankees rookies stepped outside, fully costumed, to an awaiting crowd of autograph seekers. There was Joba Chamberlain as the Cowardly Lion, Ian Kennedy as Dorothy, Shelley Duncan as the Scarecrow, and Phil Hughes as the Tin Man. Each had to sign autographs before leaving for the flight to Tampa.

Chase Wright was dazzling as Glina the Good Witch, while Edwar Ramirez took on the Wicked Witch of the West. Kei Igawa was dressed as a flying monkey, while Matt DeSalvo, Tyler Clippard, and Russ Ohlendorf were palace guards. Yankees strength coach Dana Cavalea was the Munchkin Mayor.
