Most baseball fans are familiar with the old Kansas City Athletics and current Oakland Athletics team logo that players wear on the left sleeve with the elephant swinging the baseball bat.

How did it originate?

In 1902 John McGraw manger of the New York Giants referred to the Athletics as the "White Elephants", implying Mack shouldn't be allowed to spend money without supervision. Mack defiantly adopted the White Elephant as the team insignia, and in 1902, the A's won the American League pennant.
