John Oliver Rebrands Minor League Team As 'Moon Mammoths'

I love John Oliver's sense of whimsey!

By Susie Madrak — July 21, 2025

What a great story. I hope they decide to keep the name! Via MLB.com:

ERIE, Pa. -- George Moon has to be the only person in history who scuba dove and discovered … a Minor League Baseball team.

It was 34 years ago this summer. Moon, a resident of nearby Summit Township, was exploring the depths of Lake Pleasant when he came upon a nearly three-foot-long bone.

“I thought it was a dinosaur bone,” he said. “But we ended up getting a hold of [professor] Jude Kirkpatrick from Gannon University, and he set us straight that it would have been a mastodon or a mammoth scapula.”
