In honor of Halloween, we asked players from the OC Batbusters organization what they were going to be doing on this day of ghouls, ghosts and goblins.

Not surprisingly, softball activities were foremost in the plans of many with major tournaments like the Sun Classic Fall Showcase and Ronald McDonald hitting this weekend.

In the spirit of full disclosure, we asked several weeks ago so some of there plans may have changed between then and now!

My Halloween plans…

Halloween for me always begins with my family’s tradition of pumpkin carving.  We have been doing this since I was about five years old.  My grandparents’ garage floor is covered with dozens of different carving patterns.  Everyone picks out the pattern they want to carve.

Once everyone has finished, we turn of all the lights, put candles inside the pumpkins and have someone come and judge for a first place pumpkin. The best part of it is putting your candle in and getting to see how your pumpkin turned out, you really get to see all the fine details of your design.

Trick or treating is probably not in the plan but I do love a good Heath bar and a good costume.  The last couple of years have been last minute, we’ll see what adventure awaits me this year.

My Halloween will be spent on a plane heading to Florida for a tournament. Our Homecoming Dance has a theme so not really a party but my friend and I are going as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.
