Item Description
1.25" button has spring pin holding fabric ribbon and attached to this is a 2.25" long painted cello elephant w/team "A" logo on each side of body. This 1931 Philadelphia A's won their third consecutive AL pennant w/one of the best records of all-time, 107-45 under National Baseball Hall of Fame manager Connie Mack, baseball's all-time winningest manager. Leading the offense for this juggernaut team was the HOF trio of Mickey Cochrane (C), Jimmy Foxx (1B) and Al Simmons (OF). The mound corps was led by HOF'ers: Lefty Grove and Waite Hoyt. The Athletics would go on to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1931 World Series in seven games. Elephant has some scattered paint wear. Button has some faint age dots on rim only seen upon close inspection. Remain glossy. VF. Rare w/this attachement.
