It’s that time of the year when MLB rookies across the league are getting the old hazing treatment. And with the Boston Red Sox embarking on their final road trip of the season, it was their rookies turn to play dress up.
Leading us off in the Wizard of Oz theme is none other than the lead character Dorothy otherwise known as Japanese rookie Junichi Tazawa.

He may be a flamethrower on the mound but last night Daniel Bard was known as the Cowardly Lion.

Since he hasn’t accumulated a year of service time in the big leagues, Jed Lowrie was not immune from the hazing and dressed up as the Flying Monkey.

Michael Bowden got in on the fun as the Tin Man.

Josh Reddick was Glinda and Dusty Brown was the Scarecrow. No pictures of them just yet.
And in a non-Oz theme, George Kottaras was dressed up a sailor.
