A great story, lifted from the Jays’ website:

Just because they aren’t rookies any more doesn’t mean second baseman Aaron Hill and shortstop Russ Adams are dismissed as targets of team pranks. On Wednesday, the Major League sophomores were the victim of a very extravagant practical joke played by pitchers Roy Halladay and Burnett.

The young double-play tandem had been giving Halladay and Burnett a hard time this spring because of how much time the pitchers had been spending together. Halladay and Burnett decided to use some of their hefty disposable income to poke fun at how close of a relationship Hill and Adams have.

While the team stretched before the game on Wednesday, an airplane flew over Knology Park, with a banner trailing behind that read, “Aaron, Will you marry me? I love you! Russ.” As if that wasn’t enough, a ceremony was held for the middle infielders in the players’ dining room, complete with a cake, a fondue pot, wedding presents, flowers, a DJ and a videographer. Halladay and Burnett performed the mock wedding.

Hill and Adams were fitted with tuxedo jackets with their numbers stitched on the back and an SUV, decorated with balloons and streamers, was waiting outside the stadium with “Just Married” written on the back window. Then, before the third inning of the game against the Phillies, the plane returned with another message: “Congratulations, Aaron and Russ.”

“Bottom line: Don’t mess with the veterans,” Hill joked. “They can outfund us. We’re done.”

Adams and Hill will make about $700,000 USD in ‘06. Burnett and Halladay have $120 million on the way over the next 5 years.
