I enjoy Orbit at the Astros games I attend. He's fun to watch pregame when he interacts with opposing players. Most take it in stride and have some fun giving him grief right back. Tim Anderson of the White Sox put on a show with Orbit
that I remember in particular before a game a few seasons back. OTOH, once in a while, he'll annoy some player who is not in a humourous mood and makes it obvious he'd rather not be messed with. But Orbit has a fun routine he goes through when that happens as well.

On a semi-related note.. when I was teaching elementary school we'd have visits from most of the Houston team mascots yearly. Clutch, the Houston Rockets' bear mascot was always amazing. But one year he made his entrance by running up the aisle we made through the kiddos on the floor. He stopped and stood over (literally) the kinder kids, one of whom freaked, jumped up screaming, and bolted out of the gym before any adult could stop her. Fun times.
