** This was written before the news of Willie McCovey’s passing last night. Please see Bryan’s post and Grant’s post. **
Let’s do a little round up of this week’s non-baseball things:
Monday was National Cat Day, and what better way to celebrate than by getting to know Sam Dyson’s cat Snuckles a little bit better:
On #NationalCatDay, why don't we all get to know Sam Dyson's cat Snuckles just a little bit better? [snuckles47 // Instagram]#SFGiants pic.twitter.com/IE5bBZNecA

Tuesday was Joe Panik’s birthday. I found the phrasing on this one to be a bit odd. Are they confirming the Buster Clone conspiracy? /insert thinking face emoji
#12 is 28 today. Happy Birthday, Joe!#SFGiants pic.twitter.com/kvS8Q47eh5

Wednesday was Halloween, and some of the Giants players and recently former players (and unknown status players) shared their costumes:
Recognize any of these Crawfords?

And in keeping with the Halloween theme, Cut4 wrote a little bit about the haunted hotel that Brandon Belt refuses to stay at:
They told me our hotel in Milwaukee is haunted, @bbelt9 no longer stays at this hotel.

Also, Wednesday was our own Grant Brisbee’s birthday, and the anniversary of this wonderful gif that I created to make the world a better place:

So I say to any of you who have received this from me in the last year and been horrified, as I say about a great many other things, blame Grant.
