The Seattle Mariners love their rookies, but boy do they take hazing to the next level.
In the social-media world, the last thing a rookie wants to do is get caught doing something silly. The Mariners didn’t give them much of a choice, though, not with getups like this:

Good on the rookies for playing alone and knocking it out of the park with the costumes. There’s hazing and then simple fun, an umbrella these shenanigans fall under.
Here’s to hoping next year’s rookies up the ante.
