Orbit: The Alien Who Stole Our Hearts (and Baseballs)
So, you're wondering who the heck is the face (or should we say face-mask?) of the Houston Astros? Well, buckle up, because we're about to dive into the wonderfully weird world of Orbit.
Orbit: Not Your Average Green Guy
Orbit, the Astros' mascot, is not your typical furry, cuddly creature. Nope, he's an alien. A green, gooey, antenna-sporting alien. And let's be honest, he's kind of adorable in a creepy, extraterrestrial way. You can't help but chuckle when you see him doing his signature dance or trying (and often failing) to steal bases.
A Brief History of Green
Orbit first graced us with his presence in the 1990s, but then, like many aliens, he mysteriously disappeared. Fear not, though! He returned in 2012, and thankfully, he brought his A-game (and A-lot of energy) with him. It's like he never left!
Orbit's Superpowers (Besides Being Ridiculously Energetic)
- Teleportation: He can appear and disappear faster than you can say "Houston, we have a mascot!"
- Impeccable Timing: Always knows when to do something silly to distract the opposing team.
- Infinite Supply of Slime: He's never short on green goop to spread around the stadium.
Orbit: More Than Just a Mascot
Orbit is more than just a funny green guy. He's a community pillar! He visits schools, hospitals, and various events, spreading joy and high-fives wherever he goes. Plus, he's a pretty good ambassador for Houston and all things space-related.
So, there you have it! Orbit, the alien who stole our hearts (and a few baseballs). He's the life of the party, the king of chaos, and the undisputed champion of mascot-ing.
