One of the Arizona State Sun Devils players dressed as a big blue fluffy monster, a.k.a. Sulley from "Monsters, Inc.," as he had a "hard 90" on Halloween!
For those of you who aren't baseball fans, a "hard 90" is referring to running the 90 feet to first base.
"Sulley", a.k.a. one of the Arizona State Sun Devils players, grounded to third base, and then hustled as hard as he could (in costume) to first base, ultimately being called safe. Spider-Man was waiting for the throw, but it was not quick enough.
It is clear that fans of the sport cannot get enough of this Halloween-themed baseball game -- watching the big blue monster hustle to first base gives quite the laugh.
The video was posted by DeMarini Bats, one of the top bat companies in the world. Trust us, we know.
Baseball Teams Celebrate Halloween
The New York Mets also celebrated Halloween by taking a poll on their favorite candy.
First up, was first baseman Pete Alonso, who chose Reese's as his favorite Halloween candy. The all-star first baseman's future with the Mets is up in the as he just switched agents in September.
Brandon Nimmo, the center field man, chose Kit-Kats, while relief pitcher Edwin Diaz chose Reese's, as did pitcher Kodai Senga. Diaz, who injured himself prior to the 2023 season, is expected to be back next year.
Shortstop Fransisco Lindor wanted a Twix, however, there were no Twix in the bowl. (He even dumped the bucket to see what was there, and was upset when he didn't find any Twix.) Third baseman, Mark Vientos, also wanted a Twix.
Third baseman Brett Baty chose a standard Hershey's chocolate bar, while Ronny Mauricio wanted the sour gummies.
So far that's two for Reese's, one for Kit-Kats, two for Twix, one for a Hershey's bar, and one for sour gummies.

Continuing on, Jose Quintana chose Kit-Kats as his favorite, while Grant Hartwig preferred Reese's.
Pitcher Tylor Megill also chose Kit-Kat, putting the Kit-Kat vote to three, which Jeff Mcneil added to as he immediately chose a Kit-Kat bar, tallying the total vote to four.
Luis Guillorme went with the wild card of Smarties, which was not in the bowl, while Drew Smith went with sour gummies. Pitcher Adam Ottavino was the odd man out as he picked Nerds, while David Peterson added to the Reese's count.
Omar Narvaes chose Kit-Kats, ultimately deciding the most popular candy amongst the New York Mets to be Kit-Kats.
