Cheerleader Boots Save Rookie: Indians rookie pitcher Kyle Denney was the victim of a random shooting yesterday, as a bullet pierced the side of the team bus and hit him in the calf. Luckily, his injury was not so severe, as the cheerleader boots he was wearing slowed the bullet down.



What?



Yes, apparently as part of a rookie hazing ritual, Denney was wearing a USC cheerleader uniform, including tall white boots. This is perhaps the first time that a hazing ritual has prevented further injury. No word on whether the rookie covered in shaving cream was injured.
