Happy Halloween: Attack of the Zombie Pitchers!

It’s a pretty sad Halloween night on my block.  Seriously, only like – 1 group of kids (totaling maybe 5 or 6) showed up at my door tonight.  I wouldn’t blame them. Who wants to walk up my monster hill anyway? Heh… That means I have all this extra candy I have to eat.  Alternatively, I can feed the candy to my plants. (Just kidding… that would cause them serious indigestion.)

Last year, Halloween trick-or-treating in my ‘hood consisted of answering the door and giving fellow trick-or-treaters and their parents the score and play-by-play updates to Game 4 of the World Series. (GO GIANTS!)  On that Halloween,  21 year old Madison Bumgarner was freekin’ spooky good. (Dude pitched 8 shutout innings, allowing 3 hits…)  Sorry. Just had to get some baseball in there…

Anyway, in the spirit of Halloween cheer, here are a few photos of some zombie pitchers.  (They’re dead pitchers that I haven’t trimmed back yet.)  Photos of *dead* pitchers for once – what better night to showcase these?  I see dead pitchers… Attack of the Zombie Pitchers!
