Love it or hate, rookie hazing is a tradition in baseball. And Sunday, the Dodgers had their rookies don cheerleader uniforms as they left Miami en route to New York to play the Yankees.
Yasiel Puig got in on the action, too. For some reason.

The move, in addition to providing the annual attempt at rookie humiliation, also apparently served to wish the Rams luck as their first season back in Los Angeles officially gets underway. Here's the requisite group photo.

Rookie hazing was in full effect Sunday with the Rays as well. Their rookies had to dress in Team USA-inspired ... um ... attire.

Oh, guys.
To quote Forrest Gump, that's all I have to say about that.
