Kinda feels like they just ripped off Jerma baseball
They came to Des Moines a few weeks ago for two games. Picked up one of the crew members from the airport. I didn’t even get a ticket as a tip 😂
The dancing ump is the best
I went to school in Savannah when they were the Sand Gnats
Theyre ok tiktok, its pretty fun
There was essentially a softball version of the Harlem Globetrotters 100 years ago, The Sioux City Ghosts, and they had an awesome logo.

ive watched some stuff and thought it was cringe as fuck
There’s also the hockey team Macon Bacon
And for some reason a lot of people HATE them. They say they are tarnishing the great sport of baseball. I say those people hate fun
Tried to go to a game in Iowa. Secondary market tickets were $300 each. That is not like the Globe Trotters.
Unlike the Globetrotters, I think I can afford a Bananas game
L’effet Des Si et des Rais frappe encore!
My niece hooked up with one of the Savannah Bananas when she spent a week there.
Apparently it’s an interactive fan experience.
Do y’all remember the Ace from king of the hill?
I think theres a doc about the owners turning the team around.
Found it: Banana Land on ESPN+, great watch if you have the time
I can only assume their theme song is New York Sour Green.
They’re an actual competitive team aren’t they? They’re very funny.
If you’re just learning this then you are also lucky enough to not watch NESN
They have exploded in the last couple years. I just saw a guy wearing a shirt today. Many of their shows are sold out weeks or months in advance.
It’s a whole league and not really the equivalent to the Harlem Globetrotters. Similar in entertainment value, but not the same format or concept.
While the Globetrotters are basically entertainment themed like basketball, the bananas are an actual baseball team, designed to make the game more fun and exciting for the fans. One of my favorite rules is that the game ends after 90 minutes(?) Regardless of situation. Whoever is in the lead wins. No more 4 hour baseball games.
kind of like a real life [ace of diamonds](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x701tqv) from king of the hill

TIL If a fan catches a foul ball it counts for an out.

One major difference is the Bananas are not guaranteed to win
Stop lying this is the Harlem Butterbiscuits and the Savannah Bannanawhiskers
Joke 1: if you’ve watched football the past thirty years, you’d think the Cowboys were the football version
Joke 2: if you’ve watched any commercials the past year, you’d think the Chiefs were the football version
Eddie Feigner (king and his court) were a site to see in fastpitch softball
It’s so cringe to watch
Saw them on Real Sports.
Check them and The Party Animals on YouTube.
The games are sooooo entertaining to watch.
By far some of the most entertaining baseball I’ve ever seen…..the creativity is off the charts. Kudos to them!
