Go to any neighborhood in any city and you’re likely going to see some kids dressed up “baseball player” this Halloween.
And while I’m sure there are better things he’d like to be doing on Saturday (Game Four of the World Series perhaps?), Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista took to the Twitters to issue a fun, Halloween-inspired contest.
Contest time guys! Tweet Pic of @JoeyBats19 costume with #JoeyBats19Halloween and 5 tweets with most RT by midnight Sunday wins a JB hat!

Some (minus the muscle and talent…his words not mine) were spot on.

Others were simply lazy, yet, creative.

Not a #JoeyBats19Halloween costume, but a @BenRevere9 inspired one (and the reason the Jays aren’t playing today). pic.twitter.com/SEuRzJ6lnp
