Cheerleader Outfit Protects Tribe Pitcher (ANDRES YBARRA, Associated Press, 9/30/04)

All of Cleveland's rookies were decked out in outrageous outfits on the bus, part of a hazing ritual. An Oklahoma native, Denney said his teammates told him to dress as a USC cheerleader because the Sooners are ranked second behind Southern California in The Associated Press college football poll.

Brothersjudd,
Your news clipping left out the important point of the story - namely that the pitcher, Denney was shot while dressed in drag! Probably some religious homophobe or other right wing nut disgusted at the immoral display. - Perry

Posted by: Perry at October 1, 2004 1:16 PMWell, the Tribe did get a fun movie made about them.
