Doug Fister inspired this zombie's head-embedded baseball

The Giants might be the orange-and-black team in the World Series, but that doesn't mean Tigers fans aren't getting in on the Halloween spirit, too. This zombie came back from the dead to root Detroit on -- and said her distinctive baseball-smashed head was inspired by a member of her team.

In Game 2, Doug Fister took a comebacker off the side of his head. It was a scary moment that thankfully left the starter no more than shaken up (and he pitched for 3 1/3 more innings), but the incident did provide a rationale for Katie Moynihan's Game 3 costume.

“My brother is having a Halloween party tonight and I was trying to think of something to be, and then I was like 'Oh, I'll be a baseball player,’" the Allen Park, Mich., native said. "Then, at the last minute, I was like, 'zombie baseball player.' Fister got hit in the head last game, so that was kind of an inspiration.”

For a corpse that only recently emerged from the grave -- as the matted dead leaves in her hair attest to -- Moynihan seemed quite well-versed in recent Tigers culture. Her "RALLY STACHE" sign, to be held up during Delmon Young's at-bats, must have been buried with her.
