Blue Jay Jose Bautista announced he would give out a prize to the five people who get the most retweets for a photo of them dressed up as him for Halloween. The contest is almost over, and people — and animals! — have outdone themselves.
Contest time guys! Tweet Pic of @JoeyBats19 costume with #JoeyBats19Halloween and 5 tweets with most RT by midnight Sunday wins a JB hat!
First we have a very pristine Bautista beard.
@JoeyBats19 How's my cut? #JoeyBats19Halloween #teachershavemorefun 🎃
Like, she should run a house painting company or something.
Bautista may not be crazy about the ear interpretation on this one.

This costume involved someone dressing up as a bat. So it has that going for it.
Recreation of epic bat flip. Happy Halloween! #JoeyBats19Halloween
There were, of course, many bat flip entries.

But now let's get to the really important entries: baby Bautistas, and other adorableness. Look at this right now.

Awwwww.
My daughter wanted to be @BringerOfRain20 so I had to grow a beard and be @JoeyBats19 #JoeyBats19Halloween
This is Bautista "after ALCS game 6," according to the parent who took this pic. (The Jays lost that game, and the series.)

To go in the other direction, this guy should probably not get your retweet vote.
@JoeyBats19 #JoeyBats19Halloween
But this was absolutely next level.
Alright you ghouls, here's my Ridin' Dirty @JoeyBats19 costume for #JoeyBats19Halloween contest 👻⚾️👻

Jose Meowtista made a very important appearance. (RT this or you are dead to us.)
