An exhibit dedicated to the sport's wackiest team, the Savannah Bananas, will open at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
He said the Bananas deserved to be recognized at a museum that also is striving to create a whole new generation of fans for the national pastime.
Among the rules: a two-hour time limit on games, no bunting, batters having the option of trying to steal first, no stepping out of the box, no mound visits, and a scoring system that awards a point to the team that puts up the most runs each inning. “If we played role, great,” he said. “All we’re trying to do is get more people involved, get a young audience involved. If we can do that, it’s a victory for everybody.”
