Soxtalk guys?  Not sure what that means.  Do they read this board or something?  But I will try for those pitchers you mention.

 

A couple of them post occasionally, but all have done a lot for the site (interviews, answer questions etc)

OK, so, I apoligize in advance. As promised, here are a few pictures I took at the 3/4 game. Looking at the professional photos in this thread, these will look pretty amateur. Clearly, I am no sports photographer. Plus my seats were on the D-Backs side, I found out to my dismay. But hey, I promised I'd put a few up. No laughing allowed!

The A’s Elephant Mascot

 

After New York Giants manager John McGraw told reporters that Philadelphia manufacturer Benjamin Shibe, who owned the controlling interest in the new team, had a “white elephant on his hands," Mack defiantly adopted the white elephant as the team mascot, though over the years the elephant has appeared in several different colors (currently forest green). The A’s are sometimes, though infrequently, referred to as the Elephants or White Elephants.

 

The elephant was retired as team mascot in 1963 by then-owner Charles O. Finley in favor of a Missouri mule. In 1986, the elephant was restored as the symbol of the Athletics and currently adorns the left sleeve of home and road uniforms.
