ARLINGTON, Texas — Halloween came early at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. 

The internet is going bananas after seeing some Rangers fans dressed up in costumes of the fruit at Game 2 of the World Series in Arlington. The three fans were behind home plate and dancing around, trying to distract D-backs pitcher Merrill Kelly. 

"Banana dudes out here living their best lives."

The fans seem to be taking off the costumes when the Rangers are pitching. Not cool, bananas.

Not everyone watching the Fall Classic is entertained.
