Nationals Dress Rookies Up as Smurfs (Picture)

The Nationals got their rookies perhaps better than any baseball team has ever hazed its rookies. The D-Backs putting their rookies in speedos and swim outfits was pretty funny, and the Angels sticking Mike Trout in a Lady Gaga dress wasn’t bad, but this is tops. Just look at all the detail with the body paint! And can you really beat Stephen Strasburg as Papa Smurf? I think not.

That picture was actually shared by Nats catcher Jesus Flores on Twitter, and it was passed along by Eye on Baseball. Guarantee Flores never had to dress up like a smurf during his hazing. Very strong Nats, very strong.
