The Los Angeles Dodgers are the current favorites for the 2022 World Series. For the next three weeks, however, they can afford to relax a little.
Having mathematically clinched a playoff berth on Sunday, the Dodgers celebrated their annual Dress-Up Day on the team’s trip to Phoenix. From Joey Gallo to Mookie Betts to Freddie Freeman, everyone got in on the act.
Dodgers slugger Cody Bellinger dressed up as a Chippendale Dancer alongside Gallo, Andre Jackson, and Justin Turner. However, Bellinger thought he was signing up for something completely different, thanks to a hilarious misunderstanding.
When Turner pitched the costume idea to Bellinger, he misinterpreted it as “Chip ‘n’ Dale” - the famous chipmunks from Rescue Rangers - instead of Chippendale.
Bellinger was still oblivious to what he had signed up for but the air cleared soon after having a chat with his teammates.
Justin Turner wasn’t the only one with a wild costume idea
Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman paired up to dress as Tiger Woods and Steve Williams, the legendary golfer’s caddie between 1999 and 2011.
Trea Turner channeled his inner Leonardo DiCaprio and dressed up as Jordan Belfort from the Wolf of Wall Street.
Tony Gonsolin and Alex Vesia showed up as Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy from Spongebob Squarepants. Clayton Kershaw and Tyler Anderson opted for Goose and Maverick from Top Gun.
The Dodgers are poised to be extremely busy when Halloween comes around. However, their regular-season dominance allows them enough breathing space to celebrate a dress-up extravaganza without much worry.
