Baseball's White Elephants: When the Philadelphia Athletics joined the American League, Muggsy McGraw derided the team as White Elephants ^. Though the team has moved on, the Philadelphia Athletics Historical Society still follows the Elephant Trail.
When Charlie Finley brought the Athletics to Kansas City he dropped the elephant mascot for a donkey....named after himself.

Wow, an image. Just for this thread? An honor.
But, what did you think of the historical society?
