We don’t normally associate baseball with kinkiness, but some of Cal’s players allegedly bucked that trend.
As reported in today’s Daily Cal, campus officials “are investigating eight veteran members of the Cal baseball team for allegedly hazing six freshman”:http://www.dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=24177, whom UC police reported finding at Evans Diamond in January wearing nothing but G-strings and shoes in 34-degree weather, much like what we like to do on a cold winter night. Two were blindfolded, according to the police report.
The six freshman believed they were waiting to do an obstacle course, yet officers did not find one, according to the police report.
UC police cited the suspected hazers, but the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office did not file any charges. Supposedly, the team handled the matter internally, but it’s unclear what that entailed since none of the alleged participants lost any playing time.
Cal’s coaches of course deny any knowledge of this, but did apparently clear the use of the locker room for that night for a “legitimate team-building activity.” According to the police report the Daily Cal reviewed, players questioned by UCPD said pitching Coach Dan Hubbs “knows, but didn’t know” about the annual event.
What we really want to know is the source of the G-strings, and what happened to them after incident.
The whole thing largely seems like no harm, no foul—pardon the pun. A few chilly balls perhaps. We think the team ought to make lemonade from this incident and try playing some games in G-strings to promote attendance.
