Junichi Tazawa (WBZ-TV Ch. 4 image)

The Red Sox had their annual rookie hazing on their way to their final road trip of the regular season. They went with a "Wizard of Oz" theme, with Junichi Tazawa in a Dorothy costume complete with pig-tailed wig. Adding to the cast of characters was Josh Reddick as Glinda the Good Witch, Dusty Brown as the Scarecrow, and Daniel Bard as the Cowardly Lion.

WBZTV.com has video and photos of the festivities.
