It's inevitable, so get ready to see -- or create -- this timely costume: The Jim Leyland look for Halloween.
A staff blog from the Lansing Marketing Group, which is in East Lansing, suggests "5 affordable, creative, last-minute costumes." Creative is a stretch for some, but two out of three ain't bad in baseball or blogging.
Here's what the tiny agency suggests, along with the photo at right:
If you are a die-hard Tigers fan and you're upset that you can't support them in the World Series this year, why not . . . throw on a Tigers hat and jacket, dye your hair grey and find a bushy grey mustache. . . .
To really push this costume over the top, draw on some deep-set wrinkles and carry around a fake cigarette!
Add to the effect by lobbing F-bombs.
