Did the old Philadelpia A's Play a 24 inning game against the Detroit Tigers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I couldn't find that but did find that Jack Coombs pitched 24 innings against the Boston Red Sox on September 1, 1906.
Yes, the A's and Tigers played a 24 inning game July 21, 1945 at Shibe Park in Philadelphia. It is listed in the longest games every played as the 5th longest. I was there that day. i believe it was a Ladies' Day. It ended in a 1 - 1 tie when it was called because of darkness. We were furious. Imagine today's fans staying for 24 innings?

How did the Oakland Athletics baseball team uniform emblem come to have an elephant standing on a baseball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In 1901 Connie Mack and his Philadelphia Athletics became one of the original founders of the American League. In 1902 New York Giants Manager John McGraw dismissed the A's with contempt, by calling them "The White Elephants." He meant to imply that Mack shouldn't be allowed to spend money without supervision. Well, Connie Mack took up the gauntlet and defiantly adopted the White Elephant as the team insignia. That year, 1902, the A's won the American League pennant -- much to the unvoiced chagrin of John McGraw. This is from the A's history page....
