1890's Pigs playing baseball postcard
Posted By: barrysloate
On a related note, under the heading of truth is stranger than fiction, in the late 19th century (and perhaps later) P.T. Barnum had an act featuring elephants playing baseball. One elephant would hold the bat in his trunk, another elephant would toss a ball to him, and the first one would hit the ball and run the bases. It had to be an extremely popular act, and there is a famous advertising poster that Barnum made up showing his elephants at play.
