The Sports World Loving Halloween 2015

Amber LeeOct 30, 2015

The general rule of thumb for holidays is that they tend to lose their magic as one grows up. Without days off from school or parents working around the clock to make things memorable, it just isn’t the same after a while. 

That said, the one notable exception to that rule is Halloween. For those who choose to indulge, Halloween might actually be the only holiday that’s even better as an adult than it was as a kid. 

Sure, there’s not nearly as much candy to go around, but all the booze and weird costumes (sexy pizza rat, anyone?) more than make up for the lack of sugar. Few are immune to the lure of the holiday, including those in the sports world.

Let's take a look at how athletes are celebrating Halloween this year! And be sure to check back for updates throughout the weekend.
