As Houston Astros employees entered their workplace on Monday morning, they were greeted by a welcoming bowl of Halloween candy. But just as they approached, a green, alien hand popped out of the bowl at them. That's right, Astros mascot Orbit was up to serious Halloween hijinks in Houston today:

It's not immediately clear how Orbit managed to have his arm pop out of the candy bowl while he himself hid just around the corner in an attempt to jump out at employees to scare them. Perhaps the practicality of Halloween metaphysics are best left to the imagination.
Regardless, we can only hope that these poor unsuspecting Astros employees did ultimately get their treats after being so ruthlessly tricked by Mr. Orbit.
