I’m a “baseball purist”. Love the game and its history. If this guys was trying to change baseball into this, I’d have a problem with that but no reason we can’t have both. I’d love to go to one of these games!
You want to go see them you better order your tickets for next year now I waited a week too late and now it'll be just standing outside waiting for a scalper if there is one this thing lives up Way Beyond that video it is a great experience at that stadium with that team but I don't think you can until January
@@meam80skids he turned a dumpy minor league ballpark into something that's sold out every night how great is that...I love Grayson but it's nothing to write home about.
I drove over 4 hours today from Ocala FL down to Port St Lucie to see the Mets. Spent: $110 for 2 tickets, $70 gas and tolls,$15 parking $7 for 1 ice cream, $15 water and soda. It was ok but not worth it. Someone next to me told me about the Bananas. Seeing this , Im going! 🎉😂
They started doing that this past year - their premiere league travels mostly southeast part of the country. They did play against a team in Kansas and have mentioned they want to do some west coast eventually in the next few years.
I don't know how I haven't heard of this wonderful team and that wacky owner! I def will be looking them up. Such a brilliantly insane concept. This is just what America's favorite pastime needs. Wow! ⚾🇺🇸
I went to a Twins vs Yankees game at Target Field last week. It was a 9 inning game that lasted 3:50. We left after seven innings, which took 3 hours to get to. A two hour game would be great. Forget about extra innings. Soccer matches take less than two hours.
I love classic baseball and am happy for that to stay as it is, but I LOVE the Bananas and Bananaball as its own awesome thing! Keep MLB classy and keep Bananaball crazy! Best of both worlds!! ⚾️🇬🇧
Who doesn’t love a batter walking up to the plate with a bat on fire!!! Then you have a pitcher with a ball on fire!!! Yaaahoooooooo!!! Banana ball has made a fan of this baseball traditionalist!!
I've been watching/playing baseball for over 50 years....am I a "purist"? Well, in some sense of that, yes. As a Boston Red Sox fan....I was annoyed when they decided to add advertising to the uniforms. I was also annoyed when the "shift" came into existance. So glad it has kind of gone away.... Anyways, I love what the Savannah Bananas are doing and I hope it spreads like the wildfire it is! I hope to see a game in person this year, but who knows? I haven't missed a game this year, watching on YT. So go Jesse & Bananas!
the Bananas were created in 2016 to replace the professional Savannah Sand Gnats, who had moved to Columbia, South Carolina as the Columbia Fireflies. At the time the team was the A-ball affiliate of the New York Mets, but is currently the (low) A squad in Kansas City's system.
I will tell you if you don't order some tickets February you ain't getting none edit: they may be sold out by the end of last season. You gwine gotta go the scalper route to get in, but worth it. They really need to add outfield bleachers.
Bill Veeck is cheering the Bananas on from heaven! His ideas irritated baseball purists back in the day, too, but now we have the DH, inter-league games, the playoff system and more. And what better place to try out new ideas than the low minor leagues?
Just heard about on cbs mornings and my first thought was the Harlem globetrotters of baseball and that is totally wholeheartedly meant as a complement.
Did anyone notice that on the walls you will find no advertisements at all. Jessie Cole decided early on that he did not want those ugly signs in his stadium.
Savannah Georgia has a very long tradition of great baseball. So when a new team came to town we thought baseball would continue as usual. But than come to find out they would be collage level players. That was ok. Than the day came with the new name for the team. Savannah Bananas????? We thought maybe Savannah Sharks or Savannah Beach. But Savannah Bananas???!!! We thought they lost their minds. Savannah is one of the oldest cities in the Nation and we do not like change. Well it turns out that they put Savannah back on the map. After Forest Gump and the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil wore off. We needed something to put us back on the map. And you are getting to enjoy it!
Nice job make it fun and accessible. They can give away the food bc you won't have time to eat once the game begins. Think about that. A ballgame with no time to eat? Might be a good thing, slim folks down.
I despise MLB because of the players. This I would go see all the time if I was closer. I would say this is close to original play then MLB is aside from the stilts but who knows.
Bill Lee of Red Sox/Expos always talked like a purist, used to denigrate the team mascots, pushed for fundamentals w kids; now Bill is a 76 yr old pitcher for the Bananas= oh maybe he was just made for the Bananas, lots of bs. But we can't always be serious.
It’s really been a rough couple of years, this man is a business genius and a hero for bringing people together to have fun and smile.
As a baseball purist, I love this. Why not have something different?

20 bucks for a ticket and all you can eat? That's cheaper than a beer at my home park lol
Lol

He's a genius for that! His ballpark will be sold out for a long time that way....!

@@hankkingsley9300 it's a historic ballpark Hank,one that had many greats in it
The most interesting thing was seeing the fans run to the ballpark.
When you got them doing that, you're doing something right.
This is like semi-pro in real life . Nice to see people happy and enjoying themselves again.

There's room to love both traditional baseball and Bananaball ♥️
$20 for a ticket and all you can eat! I guess good times still exist
And drink.
Now that is a baseball team that I can afford to take my kids to see! Keep on rocking it Bananas!
Love the Savannah Party Animals, Bananas and Firefighters.
Great idea! The Savannah Bananas are the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball.
They need to have games around the country. I'd be into it.
They started doing that this past year - their premiere league travels mostly southeast part of the country. They did play against a team in Kansas and have mentioned they want to do some west coast eventually in the next few years.
Along with a rival team that could travel with them like the Washington Generals. 3 might in each city when that city's team is on the road.
@@Waitukubuli They have that. They're called the Party Animals.
They do this but tickets are still really hard to get
@fionaforbes6100 I can see why. These aren't average baseball games.
I saw the Harlem Globetrotters as a kid, the early 80s. The original Curly and Meadowlark. That was a fun night with the family.
Second baseman and backup dancer, imagine that on your resume lol 😂
I don't know how I haven't heard of this wonderful team and that wacky owner! I def will be looking them up. Such a brilliantly insane concept. This is just what America's favorite pastime needs. Wow! ⚾🇺🇸
There are some of their full games on UA-cam, very fun to watch!
Baseball is a game, and games are supposed to be fun.
-Jack Elliot, Mr. Baseball (1992)
MLB: Noooo! You can't be silly and have fun! Baseball is about hard work and statistics!!!!
Savannah Bananas: LOL no.
Wow! They did what I thought was impossible. They made me wanna watch a baseball game.
Ikr. And I don't care for baseball, but I will watch their games!
I like the fact they are all about the fans. What a concept.
It's Peanut Butter-Jelly Time, in Georgia.....you can do it with a baseball bat, literally!
I LOVE these guys. Would love to attend a game.

Genius! Crazy fun🤗👍❤️
I’m going bananas!
THIS IS SO COOL! Baseball for the masses.
Second baseman..and backup dancer!
Between Max Patkin, Bill Veeck, Bob Uecker, Charlie Finley, the San Diego Chicken, the Philly Phanatic and others, I'm calling this historically pure.
JUUUUUUUUUUUUST a bit outside!
The owner of this team has a thousand times more business acumen than the MLB commissioner thats for sure
Doesn't have the bottom line to show for it yet, though.
They are AWESOME!!! MLB take some notes!
Most exciting baseba I've seen. May actually consider watching.
Who doesn’t love a batter walking up to the plate with a bat on fire!!! Then you have a pitcher with a ball on fire!!! Yaaahoooooooo!!! Banana ball has made a fan of this baseball traditionalist!!
My grandson would play for them now!
I gave the MLB up for Lent....long story. Stuff like this re energizes my love of the game
I'd sit through this type of baseball game.
Love this!

I usually don't like baseball, but i would love to see them.❤❤❤
Yes please...more fun!!!
Such a great team of Bananas
Love them!
love love love this!!!
seems like the best $20 bucks a person can spend , wish i could go to this .
It's like a modern baseball version of the Harlem Globetrotters.
This looks awesome!!!
This is awesome idea. Love it. I can understand why it is a sell out.
This is brilliant!
Banana ball is awesome!

Waiting list is now 650,000...
Way to Go Savannah Bananas!! ❤🙌🏻🫶🏻🙌🏻❤️
Hey, I'm in UK I have no clue about how to play baseball, but I'm a Banana's fan
Fantastico
I ❤️ this!!!
I may have to put my name on the waiting list

Go Bananas 🍌 🍌
So joyful!
Reminds me of Bingo long allstars..
Keep On keepin On, Oorah 🤟👍✌️💥🤩💯‼️
Love em!!
That's my hometown team. Love them bananas
I live just about an hour down the road from you in Jesup and I consider them my home team
@@hankkingsley9300 We now live in Bryan County but still go to Bananas games. We are practically neighbors.
Bill Veeck is cheering the Bananas on from heaven! His ideas irritated baseball purists back in the day, too, but now we have the DH, inter-league games, the playoff system and more. And what better place to try out new ideas than the low minor leagues?
Veeck would be in his glory.
They're going banana "Pat Paterson"
Just heard about on cbs mornings and my first thought was the Harlem globetrotters of baseball and that is totally wholeheartedly meant as a complement.
Loving it
Props to that kid with the yellow do. I wached many talented athletes at the college I work not get the recogniton as they deserve
このチーム大好き！！

I have set up, via You Tube, a full game to watch tonight.. I expect this game to be played well an with some chuckle.. Let's try a Banana..
So entertaining! Would love to attend a game!
Lol, love this
Might start watching baseball again…
They need to sell banana milk in the stands!
YES!
Come to SA - Gauteng
They are the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball
I was in Savannah just this past weekend on the 5th for the first time! And my SCAD daughter told me about their minor league baseball team!
FYI they are not a minor league team. They were a summer collegiate league. Now they play Savannah Banana Ball year round.
What is scad?
@@richardcarroll9864 Savannah Collège Of Art & Design. The school saved downtown Savannah and the historic area.
That's bananas...
St Paul Saints created the trend in the 1980s
I'm going to buy some tickets.
Better start in January 2023 cuz you ain't going to get none
Seesome awesome
How much do the players get paid?
I follow these guys on youtube. theyre super weird
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lol

To me baseball is so boring. I don't get it. These teams bring the entertainment.
More like Cornball
I am a baseball purist and major league baseball has turned to crap. This is great for minor league baseball.
