John Oliver-Branded Minor League Baseball Team the Erie Moon Mammoths Play First Game
The Erie Moon Mammoths, a minor league baseball team rebranded by John Oliver and his Last Week Tonight staff, made their debut Saturday to a record-setting crowd that included Oliver in attendance. Back in May, during a segment about minor league baseball teams and their frequent crowd-drawing promotions, Oliver invited teams to send in proposals about why they deserved a rebrand; nearly 50 teams sent in proposals, with Oliver ultimately opting for the Erie SeaWolves, as that Pennsylvania team and Detroit Tigers affiliate played nowhere near a sea. More from Rolling Stone How to Watch the 2025 MLB All-Star Game Online How to Watch Yankees vs. Mets Subway Series Games Online How to Watch the LSU vs. Coastal Carolina College World Series Final Online 'Erie did stand out to us as being, you know, uniquely eccentric. And I say that as both a compliment and an insult, which is the biggest compliment there is,' Oliver said Saturday during a pregame press conference (via The Associated Press) before serving as the game's bat boy and 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' singer. 'There was something about the Moon Mammoth that spoke to us for being particularly odd. It felt like it could make a baseball team's theme. You could almost see the logo in your head and it felt like something to be extra surprising.' Just over two months later, the Erie Moon Mammoths — named after George Moon, an Erie man who discovered mammoth bones while scuba diving in nearby Lake Pleasant in 1991 — played their first game Saturday to an attendance of 7,070 people, the largest crowd in UPMC Park's history. George Moon was also on hand to catch Oliver's ceremonial first pitch. 'It's fun. I'm enjoying it,' Moon said. 'From all those years ago to today, I would never have thought anything like this would've been possible. The newspaper did something on its 30th anniversary [in 2021]. Other than that, I haven't heard much.' SeaWolves president Greg Coleman told the AP that, in the three weeks since the Moon Mammoths' rebrand was announced, the team has sold four years' worth of merchandise in their online store, and lines formed at the on-site team store. Despite their popularity, the Moon Mammoths will revert back to the SeaWolves for most games — this is just a minor league promotion, after all — but the Oliver-branded team will play three more times this season, Aug. 19 and Sept. 12 and 13. Moon Mammoths games are also planned for the 2026 season. 'I love minor league baseball. There is a special eccentricity to it,' Oliver said. 'It felt like a nice fit with our show because minor league baseball, as you know, is willing to try anything. That was proven by the fact that over half the league was willing to sight unseen, rebrand and put their trust in the hands of a group of people who are objectively untrustworthy. That's a bad decision, and it's that kind of bad decision making that I love about minor league baseball.'

Klobuchar defends Democrats for inaction on Epstein under Biden
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) defended Democrats for jumping on Republican calls for the federal government to release files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, even though her party largely remained mum on the issue while former President Biden was in office. In an interview on CNN's 'State of the Union' with Jake Tapper, the Minnesota Democrat rejected President Trump's efforts to blame Democrats for inaction. 'The president blaming Democrats for this disaster, Jake, is like that CEO that got caught on camera blaming Coldplay,' Klobuchar said, referring to the latest so-called 'kiss cam' scandal. 'This is his making. He was president when Epstein got indicted for these charges and went to prison. He was president when Epstein committed suicide. And then there was another case, as you know, that continued during the Biden administration, but he was president back then, so all of us would believe they know what's in these documents. They know what's there. They've been claiming forever that they should be released,' she continued. 'It is a Trump administration that has made this promise that they're going to release it,' Klobuchar added, noting Attorney General Pam Bondi released binders described as the 'first phase' of the declassification of Epstein documents. Klobuchar emphasized that Democrats have not been as focused on the issue as Republicans have been. 'Blaming Democrats for this, to me, I'm sorry. This is- the people that have been fomenting this are right-wing influencers, members of Congress,' she said. 'People have a reason that they want to know what's in there. They believe the President when he said there's stuff in there that people should see. Wall Street Journal. These are not bastions of liberalism or wild progressives that have come out and said the public has a right to know what is in these documents,' she continued. Trump, in a Truth Social post on Friday, asked why the Democrats did not release the files linked to the disgraced financier when they controlled the Senate and White House. 'If there was a 'smoking gun' on Epstein, why didn't the Dems, who controlled the 'files' for four years, and had [former Attorney General Merrick] Garland and [ex-prosecutor Maureen] Comey in charge, use it,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. He added, 'BECAUSE THEY HAD NOTHING!!!' Trump earlier directed Bondi to release relevant grand jury testimony in Epstein's case. The directive, which has garnered mixed reactions, followed pressure from some of Trump's supporters and Democrats alike for the White House to disclose more information about its probe of the case.

James Gunn Talks Future Superman Plans, Dropping Henry Cavill
James Gunn's spent the past few weeks talking about why he agreed to do Superman, and he's also taking time to address the awkward part: agreeing to do it at the apparent expense of Henry Cavill's superhero comeback. In 2022, the mid-credits scene for Black Adam none too subtly declared Cavill's return and his team up (or fight) with Dwayne Johnson's thunderous antihero. Nothing came of that, however, because as Gunn explained in a recent Happy Sad Confused episode, it was 'never part of the equation.' As he told podcast host Josh Horowitz, Cavill's announcement that he was coming back came the same day Gunn and co-DC Studios head Peter Safran closed their deal. Gunn 'diplomatically' said someone at the time (read: Johnson) was making a play to lead DC's movie slate, and we all know how that shook out. The entire situation was 'really unfortunate' to Cavill, said Gunn, who added he and Gunn later spoke with the actor to explain things, and they let him announce the bad news through his own channels as he requested. Despite how things shook out, Gunn stressed he'd be more than happy to bring Cavill into his DC universe as another character in 'something'—but if there's anything specific he thinks Cavill is perfect for, Gunn is keeping his mouth shut. Likewise, he remains cagey on the next DC project he's writing, which he promises will once again involve David Corenswet's Superman. When pressed, Gunn stressed the hero is 'very important' to the story, but it's not a sequel or a teamup with Batman. Said project will be revealed 'sooner rather than later,' so that's something! Just don't expect it in the next immediate week, since DC's not bringing any movies with them to San Diego Comic-Con. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what's next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.
