They are awesome I really want to go see a game

[@iitsspoon]

i went out to the bananas vs monarchs game out in Kansas City Kansas and it was by far my favorite baseball game i’ve ever attended

[@tarheelking2515]

It's looks stupid

[@marshayoung9387]

I love these guys. They bring so much joy into my old age sheltered life.

[@steveludwig4200]

I absolutely disagree about "tradiitional" baseball fans not liking this. I'm 68 and the mosy old school baseball guy there is..........and I LOVE this "game" BECAUSE they are GOOD players....And its like the Harlem Globetrotters..........ALL basketball fans love them...

[@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.

[@victorwarner2734]

Mobile, Alabama is wild lol

[@bekahshouse]

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. 🍌

[@soccerplyr8]

So there better then College and minor league players?

[@mayoluck]

​@@soccerplyr8 yes and no. Most colleges yes, but not all minor league teams.

[@ersheri]

Wow! I didn’t know that but it makes sense.

[@bwills5217]

False

[@vorexodus33]

Your full of yourself. Let’s cheer for a reel team

[@daisyprofits5440]

Just saw them for my birthday last week. Did not know where I was going as it was a surprise. My daughter got the ticket track started 7 months ahead of time as every game is sold out. 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!!

[@chrissolar2543]

The owner made the rules by looking up the things people hate about baseball and eliminating them

[@juliagrant3299]

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

[@timothyhennon1510]

The final rulebook was hashed out in an all-night drinking session of Chatham Artillery Punch.

[@keilana6]

Good news! 👍

[@salravioli]

Baseball is awesome. Come to LA I will take to a dodger game. You will be very surprised

[@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.

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

My friend and former coworker is their current manager. They are so so much fun! I love traditional baseball but I didn’t go in expecting that and I had a blast at the couple games I was able to see.

[@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.

[@steveludwig4200]

@Chris Madison Go eff yourself

[@darylt.mulcahy4773]

That's bad@$$ right there

[@PracticalPerry]

Excellent sportsmanship by the awesome Globetrotters. ; ) Thanks for sharing.

It needs to be a full blown league. Maybe each division is named after the largest crop from in that division.

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]

i love being at baseball games, but this looks so fun!

[@MichaelCohen23]

Baseball isn't a boring game for those who understand it

Props to the coastal plain league for letting the 🍌 be who they are without trying to kill the vibe

[@Strideo1]

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.

[@bamaincali]

They are all talented and I think it is entertainment at its finest. One word summary: DOPE

[@carelesscribo3072]

Imagine Baumgarner coming up against this team. The rage he'd be showing would melt down the stadium .

[@andyanderson4151]

Oh God, No Shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ! There'd more than one Microchip blown if that ever happened! My cousin lives there and we went to a Banana 🍌'z game back in 2019 n had a ball!

[@Bearbrawl141]

I'd imagine a shooter mcgavin type situation lol.

[@doctorstrainlove6318]

[@swishy_bluez]

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

[@a24396]

I absolutely LOVE this! That they exist, and they are making baseball a riotous party that everyone can enjoy - no matter what the score is. Thanks for bringing them to my attention!

[@janeburns6405]

Same!

[@joannedupras6379]

When I was a kid there was a traveling baseball entertainment team called The California Cuties. It was always a hysterical and fun game to watch. That was in the 60's. This looks like a great event to attend. So good to see antics and sports combined!

[@PracticalPerry]

It's been a long time coming. Thanks for making Baseball fun as well as competitive. ; )

[@kennethobrien6537]

So um ... haven't seen them yet but my partner and I love what they are doing so much were taking a week to go down and see them play next year. 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.

[@hankkingsley9300]

You will have a blast I mean it's just an older Stadium not much to look at looks like my High School stadium but a little bit bigger but what goes on you're going to love it I mean from start to finish the whole thing what do they say fans first Entertainment always and Jesse does provide that

[@Misplacedvter]

Kenneth, Mind if I ask where you saw 3,000 dollar tickets? The tickets are 25.00 each. You have me concerned. 🤨

[@Misplacedvter]

PS l love your passion and enthusiasm for turning friends into fans.

@@Misplacedvterpretty sure they are talking about the overall cost of the trip…not just the tickets. 😉

[@frontierfishingwithRyanMacD]

This is awesome - Now I feel like I need to go and witness a game for myself!

[@bekahshouse]

If you have the chance to, do it. Book in advance though because they are always sold out. Their cheerleaders are retired older women… they are called the Banana Nana’s. It’s a whole experience!

[@frontierfishingwithRyanMacD]

@@bekahshouse Wow! That’s funny! Now I really want to go and check out a game! Thank you for the tip!!

[@brugnuh]

I would actually watch baseball if more teams were like that

[@TwirlGirl2197]

I just got to see them a few days ago when they played the Macon Bacon in Macon. They’re a great baseball team and play really well, unfortunately their antics don’t follow them on the road so that was definitely disappointing. Don’t regret going though because they do play great baseball, I just hope I can get tix to see them in Savannah soon.

[@CM4.]

I live in Macon

[@mcgiver1327]

You may have seen their professional team. There are two teams, the one in the video and an actual minor league team if I’m not mistaken

[@chawntelh]

Umm, it says on their website their antic's DO follow them. They have a whole tour around the country...I think you saw the wrong team! Lol 😆

[@TwirlGirl2197]

@@chawntelh When they are on tour playing banana ball they do. When they are on the road in the CPBL they do not. It was most definitely the same bananas because I did get to meet the team.

[@TwirlGirl2197]

@@mcgiver1327 I saw their college summer league which can't take the antics on the road, and only has some antics at home because they do have to play by CBPL rules first and foremost.

[@Napoleon2513]

I have been a banana fan since 2019 AND IM FROM FLORIDA AND LIVE IN FLORIDA! You don’t even have to be at a game to have fun! They live stream every game and It’s amazing that they could make boring baseball from home into a fun entertaining game!

[@vince-77]

I absolutely love the bananas! It feels like I see them on tiktok everyday

[@vadonnahackney4356]

I absolutely want to take my family to a game!!! Love watching the clips n share them with my family. Even sent it to my nephew Shaun Perkins who is a great baseball player n told him he should totally do this. And he said he would love to ❤️

Saw them play in savannah back in 2018, so cool seeing how theyve evolved since then

[@bigwyo9523]

That's Awesome!!!! Where I'm at we have the St. Paul Saints....they do some goofy stuff but no where near this.

As one of those absolute baseball purists……………………….. I love it. Much fun to be had with these guys and there really are some very talented ball players out there.

[@squigl3z78]

This is the most ridiculously interesting thing I’ve ever seen in my life

[@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.

[@jacoreywilliams6406]

Globetrotters can lose

Old Man Rant! If I want to watch a baseball game I would not go to a Bananas game...but...if I am in the mood to see a Harlem Globe Trotters type of game, I would definitely attend a Bananas game. Side Note - I am just glad I got to see the 1970's Harlem Globe Trotters when I was a kid. Even got to meet and shake hands with Curly Neal, Geese Ausbie, and Meadowlark Lemon.
