The Erie SeaWolves have a new alternate identity, thanks to the help of HBO’s "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver." After extensive research, say hello to the Erie Moon Mammoths — a tribute to a local fossil excavation that occurred in 1991.

The Detroit Tigers’ Double-A Erie Seawolves will be renamed the Erie Moon Mammoths after being picked by John Oliver of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight.”

The Erie SeaWolves are getting a makeover courtesy of comedian John Oliver. The "Last Week Tonight" host issued a pitch to Minor League baseball teams with a "very special offer" for one team: to give them a total rebrand.
