Mascots were quite different in the #MLB in the early 1900s.
Here are three "mascots" for the Philadelphia A's - who had an elephant has their logo. One elephant is even wearing catchers gear.
Man I'm glad to be alive. These past 12 days have really put life into perspective. I'm sitting on a very small goldmine of historical artifacts. SO LET'S GIVE BACK!

Shibe Park, Philadelphia, Oct 1929 - View of batting practice before 1929 World Series game between Chicago Cubs and Connie Mack's Athletics, the latter winning their 4th title in beating Cubs in 5 games and was start of Mack's 2nd dynasty team (1st was 1910-1914, won 3 titles)
Ty Cobb talking baseball with Grantland Rice in an early-1930s radio interview.
Cobb discusses names such as Rube Waddell, Walter Johnson and Babe Ruth, along with his own approach to base stealing. The fascinating part is hearing players who now feel almost mythological discussed as contemporaries. To Cobb, these weren't distant legends. They were simply the men he had played with and against.
Ep. 3 of the Henkel Files is live — Babe Ruth was Don Henkel's favorite forgery target. Next up: the "production line." You're not ready. #AutographAuthentication#DonHenkel
Dropping a new video today at 4pm Pacific on my YouTube channel, @AskSteveGrad — Part 3 of my deep dive into notorious forger Don Henkel. Parts 1 & 2 are up in my video section. Thanks for watching!
@sportscardsliv1 Bummer to have missed the live this week. @Steve_Grad is the best and beyond that is a super guy. Will definitely go back and watch. I’m sure this is can’t miss content. Great job having Steve on J Lee.
Today's short: Babe Ruth's autographs in the final stretch before his passing in 1948 — his health declining, his signature changing, every signed item from this window carrying extra weight. Missed Part 2 yesterday? Go watch it now. https://t.co/PGP1RaCcx2
Literally every single item on this screen is 100% fake.
Those forged @UpperDeckSports Jordan sneakers just ended at $7,500 after 41 bids, and the entire "Similar Items" row is just as fraudulent fake @FansAuthentic Ohtani, fake UDA Jordan jersey, and fake Upper Deck LeBron jerseys.
I have documented over 50 interconnected accounts registered out of Kazakhstan operating across @eBay and @Etsy, flooding the US market daily with high-end counterfeit memorabilia.
This is hundreds of thousands of dollars in direct damages to collectors.
Massive fraud running completely unchecked on @eBay.
