Since 2016, the Savannah Bananas have been trying to change the perception of baseball.
But a baseball team in Georgia is changing this perception, with a local guy helping to lead the charge.
"I just remember coming to a tryout and doing backflips or whatever and doing my thing and just being myself," player Chad Beaver said.Beaver says when you're on the team, you"kind of just use your athleticism and do something crazy.""Probably one of the best feelings you can feel man, as a baseball player or just somebody that craves being able to put on a show for people," Beaver said.
The Bananas are part of the Coastal Plain League but they strive to be more than just a regular baseball team.Almost every game they play is sold out because the team is there to entertain fans in a unique way. "How Cleveland has the Indians, hey, that's our team. Everybody is ready to watch. The Savannah Bananas are their team," Beaver said.
