If these are the Boys of Summer, I can't wait until the Boys of Fall arrive.
This week found many of the professional baseball teams having a little fun with their rookies and younger players. Labeled hazing, this all for fun activity gets my vote for one of best sports traditions around.
Jim Hayes from FOX Sports chats with a few of the Cardinals' rookies who dressed up in some rather interesting outfits for their flight to Chicago.
ST. LOUIS (KTVI) – As Major League Baseball’s regular season draws to a close, teams look for ways to unwind and have a laugh at the rookies’ expense.
Enter the ‘end-of-season’ hazing period, where rookies are forced to dress in ridiculous attire and ride the team plane or make other public appearances prior to the final series of the season.

The Cardinals were not alone in their rookie hazing.
Professional wrestlers was the choice of outfits for the Dodgers.
Minnesota Twins were sporting the spandex.
Underoos were the outfits for the Mets.
Making it to the end of September, the rookies from the Royals earned their orange jump suits.
I would like to say a personal hello to Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Flash #2.
