Unconventional independent baseball team to entertain 3 football, 18 MLB stadiums next year
The Savannah Bananas , the unconventional independent baseball team that has become a nationwide phenomenon, will take its unique brand of "Banana Ball" to 18 Major League Baseball stadiums and three football stadiums in 2025, it was announced Thursday."We played in front of 1 million fans this past year," Cole told ESPN. "We're playing in front of 2 million fans next year. Maybe that sounds boastful, but our waitlist is at 3 million right now.
The Bananas will also play two games each in the home ballparks of the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros, Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres, Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies, Washington Nationals, Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Angels, Atlanta Braves, Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins.
The experimental phase of Banana Ball, born out of a desire to quicken the pace of baseball games and keep fans engaged throughout them, began a little more than five years ago. It is now played year-round by the Savannah Bananas and their affiliated teams. An 11th rule -- "golden batter" -- was recently introduced, allowing each team one opportunity to deploy any hitter from any spot in the lineup.
