Rookies' debut

Sports_excitem_2029204

HOT STUFF: The hazed rookies got off relatively easy compared with past years, wearing Hooters tank tops and shorts. The embarrassment was limited to those who hadn't gone through it with any team: Akinori Iwamura and interpreter Masa Koyanagi, pictured above; Jeff Ridgway; Justin Ruggiano and Josh Wilson (see their picture). RHP Andy Sonnanstine, who stayed in southern California with Delmon Young, gets his turn on the way to Toronto.
