Some ghouls and goblins were on the diamond Sunday as Tyler Junior College hosted its 10th Halloween at Home Plate.
Sponsored by TJC's Student Life Department and Apache Athletics, the event included Trunk & Treat with TJC organizations hosting booths with free food, fun activities and candy for the kids. There were free nachos and drinks.
There was pumpkin painting along with games and activities.
Then the fun moved to base paths at Christus Trinity Mother Frances Mike Carter Field as the Apache baseball team played their annual Base-Boo game.
Ricky Bobby showed up in his NASCAR uniform, along with Scooby Doo and Shaggy, Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Hercules.
Plus Harry Potter, Super Mario and a Power Ranger were spotted. There was a Ranger, Yankee, Dodger and a Phillie; and some hippos and donkeys, with Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo making an appearance.
There were cowboys and Dallas Cowboys, along with Captain America, Batman and some super heroes.
The annual event started as a "fun, intra-squad game," said former baseball coach and current TJC athletic director Doug Wren said.
It has since evolved into a big celebration in the fall.
After the game, the youngsters ran the bases and took photos with the baseball team.
