    Apparently Orbit executed General Admission back at the end of 1999.

    Speaking of mascots, I enjoyed reading this about San Francisco's short-lived mascot (the Crazy Crab) from the 1980s:

    Awaiting the forthcoming and inevitable apology from MLB.

    Looks like Orbit is back.

    *****​
    So, what do you think of everything so far? Ol' retreads or a fresh look(!)? Like what you've seen so far or disappointed?

    At the very least keep his color green to represent the golf courses, and our new nature park in Porter...

    Lord have mercy, I thought this was about Jack Pardee rubbing his hands together to death.

    I remember when he came to our junior high and whispered in our Vice Prinicipal's ear to tell us to "stay in school, stay off drugs and get involved in sports." That was better than Jim McInvale basically admitting he was a coke addict.
