It is a league tradition that after each season, the last-place and second-to-last-place managers must dress up in a bunny suit and a banana costume, respectively, and spend the night barhopping in Manhattan. The buy-in for the league is a steep $300, and back before interest rates dipped below Jake Peavy's ERA, the league kept its funds in a dedicated savings account, using the not-insignificant interest earned over the course of the season to purchase and maintain the costumes. Having all managers pay up by Opening Day was therefore of material importance to the league.
