Aaron Harang celebrates Halloween early in the Braves dugout

Don't tell Braves pitcher Aaron Harang that it's only September. In the dugout during Thursday's game against the Pirates, he was ready for Halloween.

While the broadcasters interviewed fellow starter Alex Wood, Harang decided to pop into the shot and check things out -- wearing a skeleton mask.  

Wood promptly burst into a fit of giggles. Our reaction was more like the camerman's in the corner.

First we were skeptical: "Hmmmm, what are these shenanigans?"

And then: "Oh Aaron, what a hoot."

Maybe Harang will try to celebrate every holiday before the season's finished. Don't be surprised if you see him chowing down on Thanksgiving dinner this weekend.
