Astros' Orbit tries to find out if Jaden Smith and Rays' Archer are twins
Orbit, the Houston Astros' fuzzy green mascot, is a detective (in addition to being an accomplished dancer and fan club outreach representative).
OK, maybe he isn't ACTUALLY a detective, but he tried his best to uncover a particularly interesting (and amusing) mystery on Tuesday night.
Before the Astros took on the Tampa Bay Rays at Minute Maid Park, Orbit presented Rays ace Chris Archer with a poster and a question: Is he related to Jaden Smith, son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett?
MLB.com's Gemma Kaneko investigated the issue a bit further and found more similarities between the respective Twitter accounts of Smith and Archer. As you see below, both tend to send out Tweets with short, pseudo-intellectual thoughts on the social media platform:
Some people/mascots believe that @ChrisArcher42 & @officialjaden were separated at birth. Those include @OrbitAstros. pic.twitter.com/gZroBpTiWb

Maybe Orbit is on to something ...
