Washington Nationals rookies had to dress as ballerinas

And so, the Washington Nationals rookies dressed as ballerinas for their trip to Atlanta, where they have a pretty good chance of clinching the NL East. The scene in the clubhouse in NY after Sunday's win, via Washington Post:

Inside the clubhouse, disco lights flashed and music blared and pretense vanished. Inside each rookie’s locker hung a ballerina’s leotard and tutu, to be worn for playful hazing on the team charter to Atlanta. “Am I putting this on the right way?” one rookie asked to no one in particular. “I think it’s on backwards.”

Of course, nothing will ever beat the 2011 rookie class as Smurfs; or the 2012 rookie class as Olympic Gymnasts.
