There’s nothing harmless in “hazing”, so long as it doesn’t turn into capital H, high-school-football-team-with-broomhandles Hazing. While that sort of stuff might still happen in small places among youth athletes, one doubts it ever happens among the pros. One hopes not, anyway.

But even among professional hazing, the Marlins version — as seen above — is especially friendly. A few funny costumes, like the Burger King dude, Captain America, and so on, and some wandering around on busy city streets. That barely qualifies as hazing.

Maybe it’s just because everybody on the Marlins is so young. Technically, everyone’s kind of a rookie. Who hazes the hazers?
