(Taken from #8. Fielder’s Choice: Gloves of the World Series)

Halloween is three days away, and I can help but be disappointed. No costume planned and I was relatively proactive this year in that I had acknowledged it was 6 weeks away haha. Oh well, time to find a kids costume and some how hackjob it to fit me.
