09/25: Yanks' Rookies Dress Up as The Wizard of Oz Characters
Posted by: Patrick
Update: Removed Jose Veras from this list. Mike makes a good point that the skin color is off. So, it's most likely Watanabe as was reported.
For the annual rookie hazing dress up, this year's theme was The Wizard of Oz. Here's the lineup (names linked to pictures).
The Cowardly Lion: Joba Chamberlain
The Scarecrow: Shelley Duncan
Palace Guard: Ross Ohlendorf
The Tin Man: Phil Hughes
Flying Monkey: Kei Igawa
The Wicked Witch of the West: Edwar Ramirez

Munchkin Kid: Alberto Gonzalez

"I think this is the No. 1 costume, right here," Wright said.
Chamberlain seemed to agree. As Wright walked past, the popular setup man laughed out loud.
"Hey, can I get your number?" he said.

"This is a very glorious moment for me," Duncan said. "It is what it is. I was meant to be the Scarecrow. You go with it, you deal with it and you don't think about it, because what can I think with? I'm a Scarecrow with a mission."
"Put 'em up, put 'em up," Chamberlain yelled, shadow-boxing anyone who walked near.
