After yesterday's Giants 4-1 victory over Arizona, rookie D-Backs were forced to don their finest swim gear while en route to the airport. Why? Why not. But if you must know:

The Giants find themselves one victory from a division title, but they're really in it for the humiliation. Just look at the state of the D-backs after getting swept. Brandon Allen(notes) (center, wearing headphones), Barry Enright(notes) (left, with hands on hips) and the other Deebax rookies were made to put on their best Michael Phelps for the trip to the airport. Imagine what the Padres might be made to do this weekend by the masochistic Giant juggernaut.

Is this a regular thing in baseball? Forcing rookies to reveal their body in public settings? Having them touch each other ever so gently in front of a camera? Die-hard baseball fans, feel free to chime in.
