Holy Cow! Even Savannah Bananas acknowledged the 20th anniversary of Since U Been Gone and the album Breakaway

They are like the Harlem Globetrotters of Baseball. Awesome. I watched donkey baseball in Arizona at 12 in the 70s. I enjoyed the Globetrotters I would enjoy the Savanna bananas

The difference is the games are actual games not pre determined like the Globe Trotters

I loved Globetrotters too! Meadowlark Lemon, Curly, etc. Memories...

Savannah Bananas, Party Animals, and The Firefighters. Awesome teams and they are getting me through some challenges with their games. They also have The Bananas Foster (families that are foster families across the US), and they even give away a pair of shoes to someone who watches the games on KZread and enters into a drawing. I won a pair from them - Thanks Bananas!

Except their games aren't scripted. It's REAL competition between the teams.

I was lucky enough to get tickets earlier this year. My wife and I drove from central Washington to Sacramento to see the Bananas play. And it was worth every minute in the car!!

English wasn’t my first language as a child and my friends introduced me the word “Lyrics” and your song “Since You’ve Been Gone.” This song means a lot to me and defo a core memory. We also did a dance choreography to this too in the playground 🥰

I saw the Savannah Bananas live last year on their inaugural tour and they are worth the price of admission. What a great group.

I remember when we were all salty over losing the Sandgnats, but now I could not ask for a better home baseball team. The Savannah Bananas have rightfully won our hearts!

Jesse is awesome! So happy he is living his dream!

I have been fortunate to Attend a game in 2023 and 2024. Great show so worth it.

And some people don't know this but a few of these players go on to play for the MLB!

Name one player who went from the Bananas into the major leagues. I love these guys, they are really talented, but they're all former players at various levels, many of them drafted by MLB teams but didn't pan out.

Who needs to win the lottery?! I want to win tickets to a game. The difficulty in getting tickets is REAL. It's crazy. But congrats.

I have been a Bananas fan for a few years and got to see them in KC playing the Monarchs. It is the funnest sporting event I have ever been to.

LOVE LOVE the Savanna Bananas!! They are so fun to watch! Great story and so happy Jesse and his wife stuck it out to make them happen!

It sounds like the Globe Trotters of baseball. How fun!

I LOVE Savannah Bananas!! Been watching them on KZread!!

Thank you for hosting them, Kelly. What a great story.

These guys are the real deal. Supremely fun to watch, even online.

The Bananas are the Best. They truly make Baseball fun. I love watching on you tube because of the waitlist

These guys are fantastic! Family saw them in Jacksonville, if you get a chance, just GO!

I absolutely love these guys....been watching for a few yearss!!

The thing I LOVE most about Banana Ball? Sure, they have millions (including Kelly and her sister) on the waitlist....but they are constantly trying to improve the game, even now when they sellout every place they go. It truly is Fans First! I still have not been to a Banana Ball game, couldn't make it home to Boston for the Fenway Park game, but I will be at a game later this year and really look forward to seeing Banana Ball!! Oh, I've watched over 150 Banana Ball games on KZread!! Love it!!

I've been watching the bananas since they were only in the CPL and I LOVE them! I've seen them live twice and I wish nothing but the absolute best for the whole organization.

I just discovered them a few weeks ago and love watching them! It feels like watching small town baseball but with a touch of the circus.

I joked to people in my office, as we watched the stuff get setup in a little parking lot behind Fenway (which i have to tell you.. as a baseball fan. its kinda surreal to walk past it twice a day five days a week) that the Bananas were baseball's equivalent to the Harlem Globetrotters (they lose to the other team... a bit more often than the 'trotters do, but baseball has a lot more variables in play)

I saw them yesterday in Buffalo, NY and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life! If you get the opportunity to go to a game, don’t pass it up! You will love every second of it. ⚾️

I love the Bananas, one of my favourites is the umpire doing his thing!

OMGosh I love this !; I didn’t know about this so thank you Mrs. Kelly for putting them on!! Totally Awesome!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

I would totally go! CONGRATS

I've been on the waiting list for eighty five years , so I feel it.

They’re thoroughly enjoyable to watch!

The Savannah Bananas Baseball is THE BEST THING SINCE BASEBALL!!! Honestly...we watch every game on their youtube channel...we're also on the waiting list for hopefully next year where we can travel not too far to see them...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they play here at Dodger Stadium....It's the best and most fun way to watch baseball!!!! 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🤩 xo

Getting Bananas tickets was just as hard as getting Taylor Swift tickets. I have never been so stressed out yet elated that we got them!

If I remember correctly, one of the members of the team is a former ballet dancer.

Wow! Great story and mission. Loved this segment ❤

I live nearby. It really is a fun time. FYI the food is fantastic too!

I love them.

Me, scream whispering that first chorus. Best song ever to just go crazy with.

I saw them in Durham NC and one of the girls from my daughters team(little sister of a player) was the flower girl for one of the walk ups. defiantly the best game ive been too!

How fun!!!

Love it

They are the Harlem Globetrotters of the baseball world. I really love this format!

I have never liked baseba) until I went to my first Savanah Bananas game! So much fun!!!

As someone living in Savannah I’ve been on that waitlist for years

My husband loves the Savannah Bananas. He's a huge sports fan as well. He enjoys the wholesomeness and sillyness.

Awesome!!!!!

I love the Savannah Bananas! I'm also on the waitlist.

Love this kind of content.

I would love to see them!

I'm on the wait list too, Kelly 😅😂

I love these guys and Jocelyn Alo

I knew about the dancing Savannah Banana's since before they were on Kelly Clarkson's show.

I would love to watch them live especially at coors field to see this show with the altitude added

Love the sav ban’s! ❤

Love the Bananas 🍌

It's the baseball version of the Globe Trotters (basketball)!!! 🥰

I recently learned about these guys. Man they look like they would be a blast to see. I wish I could go. I live far away from Georgia. The waitlist of course is a hindrance too.😔

damn kelly is looking fantastic! you go girl

Pitts Georgia loves our DR❤❤❤❤❤

Love This look Kelly 😍

Now that's baseball I would enjoy.

Like the guy on stiles amazing how he can run on those things

Love the Savana bananas.

Savannah Bananas are the best thing about Savannah, Georgia.

You should get them on the show to do a number while you sing. They are hilarious, and athletic, and frankly super cute as well! 😊

the savannah bananas are awesome

I remember attending one of their games in Savannah in the summer of 2016, at Grayson Stadium! (I remember the contest they ran to NAME the bananas!!! Previously the Savannah Gnats! And their first viral moment, Daisy the bat puppy!!) It was such a fun experience even back then! Cut to 2024, I got to go see them in Jacksonville as the global phenomenon they have become! Such an amazing story and so happy to have experienced their evolution firsthand!! 🍌

I def believe he was shy as ‘a kid’, still not comfortable under the KC show lights but what a human super hero 🎉🕊️👏🏻

Okay if you like that you should see Shaq DJing under his stage name DJ Diesel after a Cleveland Guardians game, playing that song while the team sings along. I was there, it was a pure delight!

the Harlem Globetrotters of the baseball world!

Oh great! Now the fight for tickets will be even HARDER! LOL Hoping Jesse and the front office has figured out that #1-they need a bigger venue in savannah for more fans and more $$, and #2-sell assigned seating before someone gets trampled!!

Kelly Clarkson looking good ❤❤❤

And I can’t get tickets to go on your show, Kelly. #prettyplease 🤞

I just finished watching a game. Bananas lost to the Visitors 2-1😥😢😭, I love these guys so much. I have been watching for a year now. Do yourself a favor and watch.

SAVANNAH BANANAS!!!!!❤❤❤

I’ve been to several bananaball games and I find the larger the stadium the less fans first the game becomes. At the smaller venues I absolutely love bananaball. It’s fun and the crowd and teams are really able to interact. At the stadium game it was nothing but chaos and the antics don’t hit the same. I have two more stadium games to change my opinion but as it stands now, I don’t like it. I hope they keep the games at smaller venues.

Have been on the waitlist for 4 years and never get access lol it’s so disappointing 😂

If you like Savannah Bananas, you should check out the Tri-City Chili Peppers Cosmic Ball. Baseball under blacklights! The Chili Peppers play in the same league the Banana's started in.

Honestly… I do miss when the bananas played games in a legit league, too. But it’s great that they’re having this much success doing the exhibition games!

They’re fun! But who do they play? Against each other?

Banana Nanas 😅

Can't even imagine falling while running on those stilts!

They are amazing!! Only reason I get tickets is bc my girlfriend works for the local minor league team here in Des Moines 😂

Savannah Bananas seem like they're for baseball what the Harlem Globetrotters are for basketball.

Kelly done subtracted 20 years and looks super young now

Ha, it's funny Kelly's Texas drawl comes back out when she's talking to southerners.

😇😇😇❤️🔥

They sell out EVERY game they play. Since 2018, every game has been sold out. And Fenway park being sold out was amazing.

He looks like The Dayman from Always Sunny

No effing way. If a fan catches a ball it’s an out. That is awesome
