The MLB season isn't even two months old yet, or, in other words, not close to the "break up the monotony" juncture, but the Houston Astros found an extremely creative way to keep themselves entertained before Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers.
The entertainment came in the form of outfielder George Springer donning a T-Rex costume and tossing around a football with fellow outfielder Jake Marisnick -- because, why not?

If this proves anything, it's that it's never too early for midseason shenanigans and that catching a football in a T-Rex costume looks extremely hard.
