Loved him at Stetson - both on the field and on social media! Continued to follow his journey and was thrilled when he made the MLB Creator Class and then the Bananas! Love how much fun he has every day!

[@tylermwebb]

Love it!

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Man I LOVE what the bananas have done for baseball. I dont know how much of what I heard is true but I heard the tickets are all the same price no matter what seat and they all come with free food. They also have stayed at their home stadium even though they have the fund to move out to a larger stadium and make more money. Also hearing they only take 30% of the cut from their content creators is actually wild. Jesse seems like a genuinely good guy. Like where is the dark side of this?

[@jenknepp684]

No free food with the tickets, at least when I went to a game. But it's still amazing!!

[@bryankahl3514]

My wife and I took my daughter to a game in Jacksonville and it was such a blast we bought tickets again for the next night. No free food but banana ball is the future of baseball. So entertaining and completely Fan focused.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

@@bryankahl3514 awesome. I appreciate the information. I watched a video a couple months back and it was very good but that's where I heard about the food, I think. I think the video was called "I rooted against americas most beloved sports teams" or something like that. And it was a guy going to the bananas and cheering for the dropbears, going to a Globetrotters game and cheering for the generals, and then going to a midevil times like restaurant and cheering for the bad guy.

[@brittanyd3173]

Yes, you heard correctly! At least for 2023 and 2024 seasons all games at Grayson Stadium had tickets for $35 which included all of your food and non-alcoholic beverages. There is also the option to buy what is called VIB (Very Important Banana) tickets which are like behind the scenes/backstage passes. In the 2025 season Grayson Stadium will have a new section that will include all of your alcoholic beverages as well. It is out in the outfield. Road games do not follow the same rules. There are different tiers of tickets and prices very based on your location of your seat. the food is not included on the road… Concessions are run by the hosting stadium

[@brittanyd3173]

Thanks for this video! Jackson hasn’t been one of my personal favorites, or guys I’ve learned about before now. This was insightful. Their games are SO much fun, and I will definitely continue going to watch them play. Super excited to see Jesse’s BananaBall league kick off in 2026!! You should interview Bill Leroy and Kyle together.

[@TimothyWenger]

I live right off of Cape Cod (1 town over from one of the Cape League teams) and it’s always mind blowing learning some of the MANY big names that played there during their college careers.

[@keithrg]

masterclass of an interview

[@tylermwebb]

Thank you! That means a lot!

[@chrissteinhilber8839]

Good for him…Most people are miserable with the 9-5 grind. He’s doing what he loves and making some money. The Bananas have made baseball a lot more fun and attracting people who normally would not go to a baseball game…Love it!

[@AidenMcIntyreBaseball]

This videos amazing ❤️

[@tylermwebb]

Thank you Aiden 🤝

[@Chuckmogley]

I don’t know anything about baseball or ever really cared about the sport but this video man overall is just a great video. This got me very interested in what’s going on thank you man definitely going to subscribe.

[@b2rad]

Cool video man. I had no idea about this guy at all but it was a very well constructed video and interview.

[@tylermwebb]

That means so much 🤝

[@theteschfamily9046]

One of the OG’s followed him on Tik tok before it was cool!!!! Love this story and I loved following his rise to success in Baseball just by being himself

[@tylermwebb]

That’s a real fan right there!

[@joshualee3838]

Amazing video quality the editing was amazing

[@tylermwebb]

Thanks so much !

[@Baseball4life_27]

We need Brett Phillips on the bananas

[@tylermwebb]

That would be electric 🤯

[@AWB-Official-u1b]

An absolute icon here in Bananaland

[@tylermwebb]

Best of the best!

[@jonathonkysel9468]

That boy Tyler went off on this one!

[@tylermwebb]

You’re too kind 🔥

[@lauxmyth]

Jackson did not say it but I suspect all players know that one bad injury will be the end of the ball playing career. True in all sports and a bit less common in baseball but the risk is there.

[@tylermwebb]

Agreed, he seems to be planning for it all

[@alecomeara7929]

I am yet to see their seeds in the store, but once I do, I shall buy them

[@tylermwebb]

They’re also online!

[@zach-mp6cg]

i live in new milford

[@bradenmcginnis1551]

Bro hit .152 his senior year no way

[@LookOutside...]

I can tell by seeing his tik toks in this video that don’t have the sound on that I don’t need to watch them with sound on.

[@TheGloveMagician]

8 is a legend 🔥

[@AWB-Official-u1b]

COXY WASSUP

[@tylermwebb]

[@jerry4706]

"could have been drafted" to becoming a ballerina.

[@eyeball4779]

Never heard of this team or this dude

[@brittanyd3173]

Bummer man. Check them out. Incredibly talented and fun group of guys.

[@Idkyou89]

He’s so popular and viral that I’ve never heard of him until this video 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@drewferd2720]

Never heard of him

[@tylermwebb]

Until now…

[@LookOutside...]

So it’s not minor league baseball? It’s just a broadway type play about baseball?? Are the people in the stands paid to be there for the videos??

[@brittanyd3173]

It’s a real game…with tons of fun in-between inning activities and entertainment. The players are so kind and enjoy what they do. I have only been to 4 games, but can’t wait for 2025

[@ohtanipsa10]

Most recognizable? lol def not even in the top 200 most known players

[@brettbono9550]

guy is a nobody bc nobody cares about the bananas its embaressing to be honest! this guy couldnt even make the mlb!

[@brettbono9550]

[@Lifes-little-moments]

Wouldn’t that make you a nobody too?

[@KennBone69]

Just you
