Halloween is almost here, and many people across the United States got dressed up over the weekend to celebrate it since it falls on a Tuesday this year.
Many sports fans had some nice ideas but not many can top one couple.
Twitter/X user “Alex” (@nothanksalex) posted a photo of her and her partner, Seattle-based comic Reece Green, in a baseball-themed couples costume and made sure nobody would defeat them with what they wore.
The photo shows Green dressed as former Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Randy Johnson while Alex is dressed as the bird that got hit by his pitch which is in reference to the infamous incident in 2001, when the left-hander hit a bird mid-flight while throwing a pitch during a spring training game against the San Francisco Giants.
Coincidentally, Zac Gallen also accomplished a similar feat this year, which means the D-backs have successfully made the Fall Classic in each season that a starting pitcher hit a bird.
In 2001, the D-backs defeated the New York Yankees on a Luis Gonzales walk-off single in Game 7, while the result of this year’s World Series is to come as both teams await Game 3 with the contest being tied 1-1.
