The Savannah Bananas have arrived in San Diego. They will be playing their wacky Banana Ball today and tomorrow at Petco Park. I’m told the wildly popular event is sold out!
A crew was setting up a row of canopies north of Petco Park’s Gallagher Square, where there will be fun activities for fans. I see there will be loads of yellow Savannah Banana merchandise for sale.
I happened to walk this morning down J Street. I took these photos. Lots of smiles!
So, what, you wonder is Banana Ball and how is it different than baseball? Check out the website here.
Among a bunch of strange rules are: batters can steal first base, batters are out if a fan catches a foul ball in the stands, no walks are allowed, no bunts are allowed, there’s a two hour time limit . . . and other peculiar, exciting stuff.
I hear players at Savannah Banana games do choreographed dances and engage in trick plays.
The Savannah Bananas are sort of like the Harlem Globetrotters–but baseball.
Get ready to Go Bananas!
