In honor of Halloween, I present to you Spook Jacobs.
Robert Forrest Vandergrift Jacobs apparently earned the nickname “Spook” because he was a phantom on the basepaths. Scariest dude in baseball? You decide.
Also scary: the state of the Washington Nationals. Yikes.
Anyone have any good baseball-themed Halloween costumes? You could dress up as a diety and tell everyone you were Albert Pujols. Or a wizard with a baseball glove and tell people you were Mark Ellis. Or you could wear a Rays hat and take credit for their success, and tell everyone that you’re Chuck LaMar*.
Other ideas?
*To be fair, LaMar himself was quite humble and showed humility – it was the Fox broadcast crew that lavished undue praise upon him

![This is based on Pujols' career on-base percentage. From there I used binomial distribution. [E.G.: for a .350 OBP enter this formula =(1-BINOMDIST(245,700,0.425,1))*100]](http://cdn2.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/28933/pujolsprojobp_small.jpg)
