Being a StL Cardinal fan, I don't usually pay that much attention to American league teams. However, it is playoff time and the Cardinals are in it. So I'm watchin the A's and Detroit. I noticed the A's have some sort of drawing on their sleeves. After about 8 innings I finally figured out that it is an elephant holding a bat with its trunk. Alright...here's the question. WTF does an elephant have to do with the Oakland Athletics??? Not knocking the A's just wondering what the conection is.
