And at midnight, back to pumpkins
The Rays got out of Boston in first place, but a handful of players were denied a clean escape.
When they returned to the clubhouse after the 4-2 14-inning victory against the Red Sox, some Rays personnel discovered their clothes had been confiscated and replaced with some, um, outlandish outfits in the annual rookie hazing road trip.
Among the casualties:
Evan Longoria (tight, sexy female police officer's uniform), Matt Garza (taco costume), John Jaso (1960's pink and white mini skirt), Fernando Perez (military police mini skirt), Andy Sonnanstine (turkey costume), Justin Ruggiano (sexy referee's skirt), Michel Hernandez (frog prince costume) and Juan Salas (mariachi outfit). The hands down favorite was Tateki Uchibori, the interpreter for Akinori Iwamura, in a female gymnast's outfit with red pumps.
The players left the clubhouse to great applause and wore their outfits on the charter flight to New York.
