"Viral Backflip Catch Puts Savannah Bananas in the Spotlight"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Boston.com
The Savannah Bananas, an exhibition baseball team known for their fan-focused and entertainment-heavy brand of baseball called "Banana Ball," embarked on a 33-city, 22-state "world tour" and sold out arenas across the U.S. Their games feature musical introductions, trick plays, dances, unique scoring systems, and various fan competitions. "Banana Ball" includes rules to speed up the pace of play, such as no stepping out of the batter's box and no mound visits, and even has a running clock to ensure timely games. Despite their entertaining approach, the Bananas have lost multiple times to their partner touring team, the Party Animals, emphasizing their commitment to the unpredictability of the sport.
