Happy Halloween from Roar of the Tigers!

by Samara Pearlstein on October 30, 2009

Happy Halloween, kids and kittens! Remember to match your costume to the ambient air temperature, don’t eat any candy that you receive unwrapped, load up on the hand sanitizer when dealing with the grubby hands of small children, and don’t dress up as Joel Zumaya or you won’t survive the night.

Anyone dressing up as a Tiger this year (not Zoom)? If you don’t have a jersey or team shirt and need a last minute costume, you could just wear a striped polo and go as Dave Dombrowski. And then of course there’s always Paws…


Paws, man, you’re blowin’ my mind.

In Curtis Granderson is perfect news, everyone’s favorite centerfieldin’ Tiger won this year’s Marvin Miller Man of the Year award, as voted by his fellow ballplayers. Obviously all of us over here know that Curtis Granderson is the Man of Every Year, but it is nice to see that Curtis Granderson’s perfection is recognized all over the league.

He also recently made a Detroit magazine’s Best Dressed list, the only athlete to do so. I feel this may be unfair, though. It’s not that Curtis Granderson has such good taste (although of course his taste is impeccable), it’s more that anything he wears is going to look amazing the instant he puts it on, because he is Curtis Granderson and he is perfect. Hard for mere mortals to compete with that, you know?

At work today a little boy came in dressed as an Inge bobblehead. His mom made a paper mache head which was about the same size as Inge’s. :) Best costume ever.

Dave Dombrowski Paws! Why did I not think of that in time to make it my costume?

gilbekat – that sounds like the best costume ever. I hope the kid won a prize for it, somewhere. It’s kind of a scary, yet strangely safe, idea.

Paws wearing a Paws mask is indeed mind-blowing.
