Detroit Tigers May Be In Pennant Chase, But That Doesn’t Mean They Can’t Haze Their Rookies

Often a tell tale sign of whether a team can reach the playoffs depends on how loose they are heading down the stretch. If teams seem uptight, they can choke and blow it.

If photos of their clubhouse hazing of rookies are any indicator, the Detroit Tigers are about as loose as they come right now, because this is kind of weird.

Just because you're embroiled in a heated pennant race, doesn't mean you can't have a little fun at the expense of someone else.

Justin Verlander and J.D. Martinez have put up photos on social media of the Tiger rookies who have joined the team for September being hazed.
