Fairy Pitch

I saw this picture about a month ago and completely forgot to post it. It's Texas Longhorns freshman pitcher Nathan Thornhill.

There are several ways to approach the topic, and it gives Aggies and Sooners fans some ammo, but I just have to ask one question: WHY?????

Of course there's probably not a valid reason behind it, especially since he actually wore the backpack during a game.In this pic, he's coming out of the bullpen after getting his name called.

I guess Tinkerbell is better than Hannah Montana, Justin Bieber or the Washington Redskins, but still, just embarrassing.

Did he lose a bet? Is he getting hazed? OK, that's more than one question, but they fall under the big question: WHY????
