The Bananas have had 8 players go in the MLB draft last season and 10 this season. So, it’s not just for fun… they are moving up as well. 🍌

He also went around to college players and asked what they didn't like too.

I don't know if this was true back when you originally made this comment but I heard they left the Coastal Plain League to play Banana Ball exhibition games full time.

[@Lyndiloo]

We saw them last year in Mobile and they were amazing, one of the reasons I began watching baseball content on YT. They dress a little baby in a banana costume and hold it up like baby Simba while all the players kneel around it.. we were howling with laughter, it was one unexpected moment after another on top of a pretty good baseball game. 10/10 would see them again.

[@Hunt3r499]

Here’s just a cool story, it’s about the Globe Trotters. I was about 10 and my Papa(grandfather) got him and I on court tickets for the Globetrotter game. Before the game, a guy came over and said I would play the first game, a game of musical chairs. When the time came, there were to many kids and I was sent back, but I was told I would get another chance. 2nd half rolls around and there’s a break in the game. One of the Globetrotters was fouled and had to shoot a free throw. He walks over to me, no way. I go out and I shoot the free throw. It goes up… and I FREAKING MISS. But I tell them I have butter on my fingers and if I get another shot I will make it. They allow it and I SWISH THAT SUCKER. They decide to give me a prize. I get the freaking game ball. After the game they all sign it. One of the coolest days ever.

Dude is a genius. Took a kind of boring game and made it the total opposite. Dude hit a homer with this one ! 💪

[@Qardo]

Baseball isn't boring. The issue is that the corporations that took over and sucked the fun out of the sport. This team just gave the finger to that and showed that Baseball isn't like that. Cause let me tell you, in the big leagues. There are players with some personalities and team traditions that are fun. Yet, the league banned them all. Before long, won't even have music playing during the game. Maybe a bit of an exaggeration. But, never underestimate the lengths corporations will go to; A: Make money. B: Suck the life out of a product until there is nothing left.

[@ravenecho2410]

It was AWESOME!! They have spoiled regular baseball for me. They are so good and such a joyful fun time. Can't wait to go again!!

[@swishy_bluez]

My brother actually played them last season in the playoffs! It was fun going to one of the games.

[@juliagrant3299]

As a Savannah resident, I can tell you that the games are SO much fun! And they are really good players. And the Party Animals (Jesse's other team) are awesome to watch too. If y'all get to Savannah, it's well worth joining us at Grayson Stadium. Where else can you go for $25 and get free parking, drinks, food and a 2 hour (max) game.

We are going to spend over 3k to watch a team nobody by me has ever even heard of and I want to turn everyone onto their style of play. It's so engaging and fun! I literally cry at how awesome this is.

[@randomstuff508]

What I love about this team is that the bananas can actually lose, unlike the Globetrotters, who win every game. This makes games more exciting and competitive, and adds a level of suspense that you don't really get from the Globetrotters.

Ok, Arguably baseball does prefer right handed players. This can be a physical advantage or in the case of catchers a bullshit only in your mind restrictions against left handed catchers. So bananas I challenge you to play the game backwards. After the ball is hit runners must run to third base. No left handed people are allowed who play short, second or the corners. Ok third only which is now effectively first. This could be fun or deadly.
