These are pretty darn cool.

Kool-Aid! OH YEAH!!!

I'm going to grade these...

Ahman Green and Stan Musial-these two are amazingly accurate, but the carvers lose points in my book for not fully penetrating the outer skin of the pumpkin.  They basically just etched and did not carve.  Would go with B -, but the in-person pics where Stan and Ahman met their pumpkin alter-ego's bump the grades up to B's.

Mike Holmgren-his face just fits well on a pumpkin.  Great detail on the glasses and headset and hair.  B+

Manny Ramirez- classic Manny pose, GIANT pumpkin. Bonus points for carving through to show white light from the inside, and for the dreds trailing backwards.    They should put this one in a museum, as far as I'm concerned.  A+

Manny Acta-  Manny Acta defintiely did this as a self-portrait-  otherwise, why?  B-

Ozzie Guillen- loses points for not depicting an angry Ozzie Guillen or a dialogue bubble with curse words coming out.  Why would Ozzie Guillen, of all people, be smiling and happy on halloweeen.  B-

The MLB logo one looks like the player has a beak and a ginourmous right arm.  Why couldn't they have picked their team?  That's like making a Bud Selig pumpkin. C-

Phillies-  shaky work with the carving tools..tighten up those lines. Plus it's the Phillies and we know Philadelphians don't like it when their neighbors ring their doorbells for candy.  C+

Placido Polanco - where's a hat or helmet or something....why do a bald Placido?   B-

Yadier Molina- Impressive work with the lighting effects--need some recognizable team logo or name to make this work, though...it's Yadier Molina.  B-

LSU and Penn State-  Great school spirit- I'm definitely scared of both the Tiger and the Nittany Lion raging inside these pumpkins.  Bonus points for the Tiger for the intricate detail.
A for LSU, B for Penn St.

Ryan for Heisman---good use of the BC Eagle and I like the spirit again, but this one is just letters and can't compete in this field.   I think a BC fan made this after heading to Boston bars all night.   C+

2004 Red Sox...The guy who carved these actually carved the entire 2004 Red sox roster, and talks to them in a dark room by himself.  Decent Sox logo, though, and pretty cool Big Papi.  B+

Big Papi should be on a big pumpkin.  Nice, though.  I have a feeling an amateur carved this, and not a professional pumpkin carver like some of the others. A-

Mike Lowell- artistic flair in making the  '2007 MVP'  lettering the same as Red Sox uni's.  Very good touches on the face.  And I like how the uni form lights up with white light... A-

Soccer Ball-this could easily double as a disco pumpkin if you could rotate it...but let's be honest...you'd be embarrassed to show this off.  C-

Kool-Aid man-I give a lot of credit to the craftsmanship of the brick wall.  Also, bonus points for the look on Kool-Aid man's face---he looks distressed like he's running from the fire within the pumpkin-great effect, and I think this would scare little kids. Great find, injuryrate.  A+

Aren't we glad the Sox didn't win the series this year.

Jesus spanky. That take you all morning to do?

Shouldn't the Ozzie Guillen O'Lantern have just one finger?

excellent point. the carver clearly missed that. for shame.

I would SMash the crap outta that Ozzie one

Are you sure that "Ryan" heisman one isn't for Faniq's resident Ryan???

I was never to confirm who it was for. Likely Ryan at FanIQ though. How could it not be?
