Yankees fans troll Astros with hilarious Halloween costumes

Baseball fans across the United States have been ruthless in shaming the Houston Astros for their 2017 cheating scandal. New York Yankees fans, though, have taken that shame to the next level.

In the spirit of Halloween, one fan dressed up as Jose Altuve while the other dressed up as a trash can with an asterisk on it. They appear to be Yankees fans as the man wearing the trash can costume is holding a beer with a Yankees koozie while the woman dressed up as Altuve taped an Astros logo over her Yankees hat.

These Halloween costumes are pretty hilarious. While the Astros certainly won't be fans of the outfits, many players across MLB likely will get a good laugh out of it.

Many people have been relentless in their trolling of the Astros, including Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer, who has been criticizing Houston on social media over the last few months. He even wore a "Trash-Town" T-shirt earlier in the season, referencing the cheating scandal.

Bauer isn't the only player to own the T-shirt, either. Chicago Cubs pitcher Yu Darvish also owns the shirt, and you can bet that plenty of other stars around the league either have the shirt or something similar to it.
