Stomper is the mascot of the Oakland Athletics Major League Baseball team: An elephant adorned by owning an The's uniform of the total 00. Prior to every game, he rides about the field inside the little red car when a song from either The Jungle Book movie soundtrack is played. When you took games, he entertains a fans.

the apply of an elephant to symbolize a Athletics dates from either a early years of the franchise, once a class action of Philadelphia businessmen headed by industrialist Benjamin Shibe became the team's number one owners. Once asked to comment, John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants of the rival National League said something to the effect that "Shibe had bought himself a white elephant." In response, The's manager (& new creator) Connie Mack selected a elephant when the team symbol & mascot. Now and then a elephant has appeared on the Athletic uniform, including 1986 to present.

Inside 1963, so-owner Charles O. Finley replaced the elephant mascot with a Missouri mule -- not a cartoon logo or a human wearing a mule outfit, but a live mule named "Charlie O., the Mule." When Finley sold the team to San Francisco businessman Walter Haas in 1981, the use of a mule as team mascot was discontinued. So, within 1986, a elephant wwhen resurrected as team mascot, one of these days personified by Stomper.
