A couple won Halloween this year with the greatest baseball-themed costume ever.
A woman who goes by “Alex” on X shared a photo to the website Saturday that shows her with a man in a baseball uniform. Alex is wearing a white leotard with some knee-high white boots, bird wings and a bird feather sash. There was some red splattered over the feathers.
Her boyfriend, Reece Green, is wearing white baseball pants, black socks, a black belt and black undershirt, with an old-school purple Arizona Diamondbacks jersey and hat. Green is holding a ball in his left hand and glove in his right, has long hair and a mustache. His white baseball pants have some red stains on them.
Though it’s not as obvious at first glance, Alex thankfully shared a photo that provided context to explain their costume. The two were dressed as Randy Johnson and the bird that he hit with a pitch in spring training.
That is an epic. And I repeat, epic, Halloween costume.
Johnson used to be sensitive about the infamous incident, which happened during a 2001 spring training game and resulted in the bird dying. But now he has finally embraced it.
Green is a comedian and apparently had the idea for the costume. He is a former baseball player and showed the video to Alex, telling her they should do that for Halloween.
“shout out to my comedian ex-baseball player bf who showed me the video and said simply said “halloween”,” Alex wrote in a post on X to explain how the costume came to be.
Congratulations to the two, because they delivered one epic costume. It will probably be much more appreciated online, though, than in-person.
And, of course, no post would be complete without a clip of the Big Unit exploding the bird.
