Orbit's path leads to Mascot Mania title

Following six nerve-wracking rounds of fan voting and nearly a month of nonstop campaigning, Albuquerque's Orbit has emerged from an initial field of 64 zany competitors from across the country to become the first-ever MiLB.com Mascot Mania champion.

The Isotopes' large and lovable alien dispatched Ike the Spike of State College in the finals to earn the much-coveted title of Best Mascot in Minor League Baseball, securing nearly 60 percent of the vote in the last round.
