Leading all Saturday baseball events is of course Game 4 of the 2015 World Series between the Royals and Mets. Providing backdrop -- along with the recommended daily allowance of Paganism -- is Halloween. Given the occasion and given that baseball is the sport that binds us, let's enjoy a brief walking tour of some ballplayer and ballplayer-inspired Halloween costumes. Come with us, won't you?

First up, a young man paying homage to Colby Rasmus of the Astros and his triumphant sense of leisure ...

Pirates prospect Tyler Eppler ... 

Cody Decker ... 

Keith Hernandez ... 

The younger sister of Indians prospect Clint Frazier ...

Huston Street and kiddos ... 

Costumes themselves in costumes ... 

The college ranks ...

Dinosaur, mid-stride ... 

Finally, let us doff our caps to the World Series with Mr. Met in pumpkin form ...

Wait, one more, in the interest of equal time for the AL side ... 

Happy Halloween, people on the Internet.
