Our 2023 Halloween Costume Contest… Some Samples From the Last Two Years to Get You Thinking!

  • BY Brentt Eads
  • October 12, 2023
Cinderella took BP in the Oakland softball batting cages for Halloween 2022.

Earlier this week, Extra Inning Softball announced our 2023 Halloween Costume Contest for teams (but we’ll also take your best individual pics too!)… click HERE to go to the entry form page and show us your funniest, scariest or most clever Halloween costumes you have!

To get you in the spirit of the holiday – which is less than three weeks from today – we thought we’d go back over the last couple of years and show you some of our favorites that were contribute by college teams and players.

Note that we’re looking for teams at any level: youth, high school, club, college, etc.

So enjoy the pics and the clever captions below courtesy of Justin McLeod and get your own creative photo(s) to us by Nov. 1, 2023 for our article which we’ll post on Nov. 2, 2023! Be sure to ID the folks in the picture, too… and prepared to see below many Disney characters, funny concepts and even TV show personalities including several Ted Lasso sightings!
