I'm 62 and never really watched baseball but then I found the Bananas on you tube and now I watch all the time!!! They are fantastic and I hope their around for a longgggg time!!!❤
“We were so blindly optimistic that I don’t think we ever slowed down to say: maybe this won’t work” - that is one of the most badass quotes I have ever heard. Go bananas!!🍌 🍌
My new addiction -- Savannah Bananas! Love them so much !!
Normally I don't look into the news, but this is great. I found the Bananas a few weeks ago, I'm rooting for them!
The Globetrotters of baseball lol! I love it.

It has a lot of “a-peel”! Haha

The owners sold their house to get this off the ground. Thats awesome. That is America
Baseball as entertainment…as a lifelong Mariners fan I have to say that is quite a novel idea haha

@@arcadianempire I didn't said that at all! What I'm saying is that my Atlanta Braves could've done some TikTok dances during the game

Rocky Horror was definitely more adult themed. The Globetrotter comparison seems more appropriate. Just a lot of silly fun stuff.
They have free dogs and sodas as well.

All Bananas and Party Animal players are paid now since they are considered professionals. It's been said that salaries are almost double what players would make in minor league teams. Bananas couldn't pay players when they were in the Coastal Plains League due to league regulations.
This is how Blernsball begins.

What happened to my team
Bananatrotters
🤣🕺
Why? So it’s all bs? No game play all scripted?

Actual game play, but with scripted and unscripted moments like dances. They're serious qualified players. When they were in the coastal plain league they were champions.
