In the background, a building and an old station wagon with a team decal on the door are partially visible. * **Photo Credit:** A white text overlay in the bottom left corner of the image reads "**© The Oakland Tribune**". --- ### Bottom Banner * **Identification:** A solid green pill-shaped banner sits at the bottom of the photo frame. * **Text:** It displays the name "**Charlie-O**" in a large, white bold font, directly above the subtitle "**A's Mascot 1965-1976**" in a smaller white font.
