FANS GET CREATIVE WITH A GINOBILI-BAT HALLOWEEN COSTUME DUO
With Halloween right around the corner, some San Antonio Spurs fans got creative and showed off their costumes, which will get Silver and Black fans chuckling.
For this year's spooky day, these Spurs fans dressed up as Manu Ginobili and the bat (complete with a bruised eye) he swatted in 2009.
Let's say this couple has won Halloween!
And in case you don't remember, a bat got loose in the AT&T Center in a game against the Kings, and play had to be stopped.
However, the bat was evading capture until Ginobili took matters into his own hands, literally!
