Bikini models? Kate Upton, Max Scherzer and Joba haze Tigers rookie with bikini in epic photo, includes sombrero (PIC)

It must be nice for the Detroit Tigers to have Kate Upton hanging around their Spring Training complex. Having one of the most beautiful women in the world around constantly is nice unless, of course, you’re a rookie during hazing season.

Bonus: Upton is zero gravity bikini shoot

Just ask rookie catcher Bryan Holaday, who was forced to wear a bikini and pose with the super model during an act of rookie hazing. Upton is dating Tigers’ ace Justin Verlander, who apparently is comfortable enough to allow his world-famous girlfriend to hang out the team and play pranks on teammates.

Holaday’s moment of shame was posted on Twitter by Joba Chamberlain and then retweeted by Kate Upton, who has a 1.28 million followers.


Holaday has hit .296 with one homer and two RBI over 27 career at-bats. He’s competing to be the backup catcher this season and clearly has the support of the pitching staff.

Yes, that is reigning AL Cy Young award winner Max Scherzer sporting a sombrero in the picture as well. It looks like the Tigers are having a fun time this spring.
