Thanks, but no thanks. In a polite way, that's what the general manager of the Richmond Flying Squirrels said Tuesday about the offer extended by comedian John Oliver, host of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver.”Oliver in a recent episode noted many creative nicknames in minor league baseball, and some that are not so creative.
