TIL the first MM train operator (before Bobby Dynamite) was the former General Admission following his murder at the hands of Orbit

Credit to this wonderful read chronicling the Astros mascot history which is definitely worth a full read.

Snippet of interest:

Fun, if not disturbing, fact: General Admission’s “public execution” made him the only Major League mascot ever to be "killed" in front of fans: At the end of 1999’s final game at the Astrodome, Orbit pointed his ray gun (reportedly named “Ronald”—Ronald Ray Gun) at General Admission, and zapped him, unceremoniously, right between the eyes. Hey, it happens…

…A gentleman named Michael Kenny was the man in the General’s costume that fateful night. Altruistic to a fault, and always ones to take care of their own, Astros brass (in 2000) saw fit to award Kenny the job of conducting the Enron Field (as it was originally and briefly known) train looming on its track above the outfield.
