We Want You as a New Recruit

It may be sung to CC Sabathia in the off-season, but for now it's just because the Yankees rookies went through their hazing on Friday night. Normally this would take place after the last home game, but with all of the festivities and a late night last Sunday, things were put off until Boston. The players were dressed as the Village People, though they didn't have enough uniforms for players such as Phil Coke.

Unfortunately, there was also a lack of photographs. From left to right - Francisco Cervelli as the leather clad biker, Juan Miranda as the cop, Humberto Sanchez is "in the Navy", and Al Aceves as the Indian. Not pictured, Brett Gardner as the construction worker, and David Robertson as the cowboy.

Not their best work, but not bad.

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.
