It's so inspiring I cried. Selling your home and putting your life savings into your passion is incredible. I am doing the same right now...thanks for the faith.
My wife and I moved to Savannah last year, but it wasn’t until our first Bananas game that the city felt like home to us. We were lucky enough to see game 3 of the CPL championship. What energy. What an atmosphere. We’ve already got our tickets for June. Go bananas!
I saw a video of your pitcher doing some dances before a pitch today, and now here I am learning your story and wanting to visit your team and stadium. Congrats on your success and I wish you and your team so much more!
I'm not into baseball but I wanna go to one of these games. You popped up on my tiktok and it looks like the most entertaining game of baseball with all the dancing and shenanigans. I'm glad yall took the risk.
This is awesome I found your shorts on youtube and literally bingewatched them. Wish I lived in the States so I could go to your games. Love it from Canada.
Really is! I am 14 and interview sports figures from around the world! Jesse is by far one of the kindest and coolest people I have come across! Here's the link to my interview with him! ua-cam.com/video/8L-RgWgCdBA/v-deo.html
I was stationed at Ft. Stewart in the early 2000s and went here often-ish. Cant wait to visit and show support to this organization. I wish everyone involved the best ⚾🍌
I really hope banana ball becomes nation wide one day. It has the potential to be as big as MLB. It is so much fun and the best part is you don’t have to love baseball to have a great time at one of thier games. I would love to see them make more teams.
I live in San Diego and I just added visiting the Savanah Bananas 🍌 Baseball team to my bucket 🪣 list. Great vibe 😂👍🏾 Looks like everyone has a great time at Greyson Stadium !!!
My son played his last baseball game as a senior in this stadium in March of 2020. We are part of a small private school and the team we were playing didn't have a field so that is why we were there. The very next practice they had to turn in their jerseys because of COVID and lost out on the rest of the season. I remember them talking about the Savannah Bannanas and how they wanted to come back one day and watch a game.
I think I have commented once on a UA-cam video. Never heard of this team before a friend put it on Facebook. On vacation this year traveling from Florida north, you can bet we will make a stop in Savannah to see this team. This is what baseball has been lacking, FUN!!
It's really cool to see a minor league team finally really embrace the quirkiness of their name. There are and have been many teams in minor league sports with great names like the Macon Bacon, Florida Everblades, Iowa Barnstormers, New Orleans Voodoo, Las Vegas 51's, Omaha Beef just to name a few but none have really gone over the top until the Bananas. Minor league sport teams should really take notice.
Wow you all are inspiring! What an incredible story of beating the odds. Thanks for hanging on in the darkness moments and finding a way. You have created something amazingly special.
Wow ! I live in Hinesville and naturally from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. I am a die hard baseball fan and never heard about this. Amazing story! I will be in one of the games soon! 🙏🏽
I am a life long residence of Savannah. I was a BIG opponent of the name. I am happy to say I am wrong! The Savannah Bananas has bought attention to Savannah like when the Book Goo In The Garden Of Evil came out. Congratulations Bananas.
Want to know the key?This is how you bring the fans back to the game of baseball.With entertainment baseball instead of pizza pizza ads all game...THIS IS AWESOME FOR THE GAME❤❤
The globetrotters of baseball!!!!!! I have never heard of this team I've never seen them play.. I'm from Oregon transplanted in cali at age of 16 I'm about the Salem angels, the Portland winter Hawks and love the Oakland A's BUT NOW HOLY DAMN SAVANNAH BANANA'S IM HOOKED ON THIS TEAM FULL FLEDGED FAN!!! GOTTA COME OUT THERE NEXT SEASON AND WATCH!!!!
Absolutely AMAZING!!! I just found you guys because of the Dirty Dancing Skit! I’ve watched it & shared it quite a few times! You guys ROCK!! I’ll definitely be getting a T-shirt!! Love you all & can’t wait to see more of your talent! Whether it’s Baseball or the Dancing Skits!!
I really enjoyed this video. I had never heard of this before now (🇨🇦). I LOVE IT! You’ve made my day❣️ I’ve always loved visiting Savannah…it’s a fabulous city. This is one more reason to come back! ❤️❤️❤️🍌🍌🍌
The minor league team in my town announced the name and no one applauded. People walked out of the event. The media ripped it apart. Now? Everyone loves it. The name? The Montgomery Biscuits. The batters box is called the oven!
Same thing happened here in Amarillo. The Sod Poodles. Everyone lost their minds. 3 years in, the seats are full and the team is well loved and supported. Great story Savanah Bananas!
When you decide to just put 100% into the joke and make yourself a meme and not take yourself too seriously, you earn a hell of a lot of respect from me. “The biscuits and the oven?” Cheesy but really prime for dad jokes galore. And I hope you all go all in with the puns.
THANK YOU JESSIE COLE! ONE AWESOME VISION!!+ Some. Your guys visited my niece in Baton Rouge Louisiana 💕 today. She is fighting an aggressive cancer (14 years young) . But for just a moment everything was perfect! And it was all YELLOW & PINK! Keep up with your awesomeness!
8:20 this sparked what has become a golden age of goofy minor league team names with catchy merch. Teams like the Sock Puppets and Disco Turkeys owe everything they have to the Bananas!
I want to thank you and your wife and your fellow owners for your many sacraifices and your investments of, time and money but mostly for your belief in this type of baseball!! I have a huge love for baseball and have loved going to baseball games since I was a little kid. My favorite part and most memorable was always the music, mascots and the silly antics that kept me entertained. Your team now adds a whole new dimension that makes my heart smile. My dream is to take all 5 of my kids to one of your games one day! All of my kids have austims and they find your videos to be wondeful and engaging and relatable❤💛💛 Thank you for the laughs and smiles!!
English woman watching from Ireland. Love this! It came up in my feed after I saw the Bananas dancing to a Taylor Swift track. I'll be watching more - go Bananas! 🤣
Holy crap, I love this. I'm from St Louis and I'm going to load up on some Banana gear. I'd love to be a part of this. Showing my Bananna everywhere I go from now on.😎
As someone who lives near the Grizzlies park, I remember people talking about going to the games. They had a blast. Can't wait to go to Savannah to watch the Bananas.
imagine being amongst all this as this team/brand grew… this story is just amazing to me & i am watching on YT in Australia, I just discovered this team from a tweet about 3 days ago - I’m hooked as!!! 🍌
They came to Vegas to play am not a big fan of baseball anymore but I had blast watching this team play hope they come back again to Vegas I be the first one in line the way they bring the fan into the game this made baseball fun again for me please return to Vegas next year
I have a small ticket package to a local Single A team in So Cal. The Bananas are coming to Rancho Cucamonga in July. I can’t wait! I should have waited to comment after the video. I love Minor League Baseball. The team closest to us is the Quakes. Since we’re very close to the San Andreas Fault, the Quakes play at the Epicenter and their mascots are Tremor and Aftershock. And some silly games are played as well. Perfect!
I believe you’ll see world famous entrepreneur and bon vivant Gene Perrone at around the 19:18 mark. Mr. Perrone makes a point of attending nearly every home game. It’s a pleasure to have him among our fans! :)
I am a fan of the coastal plains lueague which is made up of college players from around the country and would love to see the Savannah Bananas up here in Wilmington North Carolina to play the Wilmington Sharks
I'd so love this team to come to Colorado Springs and play the Vibes. Colorado Springs had a really good and fun team at one time (Sky Sox) and since they relocated to San Antonio (the Missions), it just isn't the same. One of the credit unions would sponsor a "Used Car Giveaway" and a used car was given away every inning; There were fireworks several games, 50 cent hotdogs several nights. Sadly, none of these events happen anymore. If you all came to Colorado Springs, I would so wear my Carmen Miranda hat and root for the visiting team. I want to come to Savannah just to see a game.
The NEW MEANING TO MARCH MADNESS!!! SPRING TRAINING!!!! THIS IS TRULY FAMILY VALUED ENTERTAINMENT.... IM SO SOLD AND Want to move their from California.... Don't know where I'd work or how but I see this happening probably soon.... 🤗
They do without a doubt! I am 14 and interview sports figures from around the world! Jesse is by far one of the kindest and coolest people I have come across! Here's the link to my interview with him! ua-cam.com/video/8L-RgWgCdBA/v-deo.html
It's so inspiring I cried. Selling your home and putting your life savings into your passion is incredible. I am doing the same right now...thanks for the faith.
Chase your dreams and live a life you’ll be proud of!
I cried too. And being a Sith Lord, that's saying something. 🙄
@@MightyQuinnj Jesus loves you!
@@awesome346 He was the chosen one! He was meant to bring balance to the galaxy
@@MightyQuinnj this I know for the bibe tells me so!

My wife and I bring our girls to Savannah once or twice a year. We absolutely love it.
A baseball fan and wish I was close enough to be season ticket holders. Most entertaining and great ball. Proves that you built it and they will come.
The mlb needs to give this team a standing ovation
2 different MLB teams have had their biggest crowds of the year when the Bananas were in town already!
Great team, great owners, everything about this organization is amazing. Much love from Texas.
Baseball really was interesting around the time of the depression. These guys made it into an absolute spectacle, and it was much needed.
I saw a video of your pitcher doing some dances before a pitch today, and now here I am learning your story and wanting to visit your team and stadium. Congrats on your success and I wish you and your team so much more!

Same here.
From South Africa 😊
Me too! Lakewood, CA
😭😭 the banana-nana's?!?! Just when I thought this team couldn't get any better ❤️❤️ love from 🇨🇦
💪
Just got to that part. Fantastic lmfao
I know, right???
I love that! “It’s always someone’s opening night.”
Really one of the best, most well made videos I’ve seen in a long time. I could tell this was made from the heart.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I Love this type of play, and I hope it inspires the whole Baseball World !
Greetings from Holland 🧡
I lived in Savannah summer of 2018 and seeing the Savannah bananas play was the highlight! I’d love to go back one summer and see them again
This is awesome to watch now knowing how far the team has grown now!
I was stationed at Ft. Stewart in the early 2000s and went here often-ish. Cant wait to visit and show support to this organization. I wish everyone involved the best ⚾🍌
The Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. I just ran into this yesterday. Hilarious. We'll drive up from Florida for this.
I really hope banana ball becomes nation wide one day. It has the potential to be as big as MLB. It is so much fun and the best part is you don’t have to love baseball to have a great time at one of thier games. I would love to see them make more teams.

Looks like everyone has a great time at Greyson Stadium !!!

I'm here in 2023. Never been there but this is amazing!!!
It's really cool to see a minor league team finally really embrace the quirkiness of their name.

This isn’t a minor league team
The Macon Whoopees.
Isn't this an exhibition team?
Absolutely the best baseball EVER! Your hard work paid off! Thank you!
The "Profit First" book by Mike Michalowicz brought me here!
really loved your story guys!
cheers from France 🇫🇷 !
absolutely incredible! What a great example of creativity and grit in action. CONGRATS!!
Thanks Josh!
The Pecos League needs a few owners like this. Hell, EVERY league needs a few owners like this.
Wow you all are inspiring! What an incredible story of beating the odds. Thanks for hanging on in the darkness moments and finding a way. You have created something amazingly special.

Same thing happened with us, we were laughed at for calling our selves the Banana’s!
Same thing happened here in Amarillo. The Sod Poodles. Everyone lost their minds. 3 years in, the seats are full and the team is well loved and supported. Great story Savanah Bananas!
It's good to watch fun baseball again. Most baseball is too serious.
One of my favorites is the Rocket City Trash Pandas from Huntsville, AL
When you decide to just put 100% into the joke and make yourself a meme and not take yourself too seriously, you earn a hell of a lot of respect from me.
“The biscuits and the oven?” Cheesy but really prime for dad jokes galore. And I hope you all go all in with the puns.
This is so uplifting, you guys really put in the work! Congrats on your well earned success.
just excellent. Ordered my shirt last night!!! Who doesn't want to be a part of it? Wish I lived there.... and could work them... brainstorming!
THANK YOU JESSIE COLE! ONE AWESOME VISION!!+ Some. Your guys visited my niece in Baton Rouge Louisiana 💕 today. She is fighting an aggressive cancer (14 years young) . But for just a moment everything was perfect! And it was all YELLOW & PINK! Keep up with your awesomeness!
I love this story! I can't wait to visit Savannah someday soon and experience my first Banana's game!
Can't wait to have you here!
8:20 this sparked what has become a golden age of goofy minor league team names with catchy merch. Teams like the Sock Puppets and Disco Turkeys owe everything they have to the Bananas!
My family loves watching your content here is Arizona!

Nothing makes me happier to be a baseball fan than the savannah bananas, I live a bit far but would love to make it to a game.
감동받았습니다. 사바나 바나나 항상 응원할게요! ^-^/~♡
“Savannah Bananas is a ridiculous name”
- people from a town whose previous team was named the Sand Gnats
This sounds amazing. Make it fun for everyone. But the break dancing umpire is my dream!
English woman watching from Ireland. Love this! It came up in my feed after I saw the Bananas dancing to a Taylor Swift track. I'll be watching more - go Bananas! 🤣
Holy crap, I love this. I'm from St Louis and I'm going to load up on some Banana gear. I'd love to be a part of this. Showing my Bananna everywhere I go from now on.😎
I'm from NC & I can't believe I've never heard of them before now. Definitely taken my family to see them when they come to NC❤.
I’d love to see one of their baseball games, looks like so much fun. Way to go!!
Genius! What an awesome story. I definitely want to try and catch one of these games!
I might be interested in baseball again because of these guys! Thank you!
As someone who lives near the Grizzlies park, I remember people talking about going to the games. They had a blast. Can't wait to go to Savannah to watch the Bananas.
Thank you!
This is hilarious !! I wish I lived in Savannah!!!!! GO BANANAS ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I found this because of a marketing email from the Daytona Tortugas, can't wait to check this out live when they come to town.
I've put everything I had into projects I believed in and failed.
I don't regret any.
17:15 I totally agree. I play the trombone and love baseball. There needs to be a pep band everywhere.
imagine being amongst all this as this team/brand grew… this story is just amazing to me & i am watching on YT in Australia, I just discovered this team from a tweet about 3 days ago - I’m hooked as!!! 🍌
They came to Vegas to play am not a big fan of baseball anymore but I had blast watching this team play hope they come back again to Vegas I be the first one in line the way they bring the fan into the game this made baseball fun again for me please return to Vegas next year
Can't wait to see you guys in Montgomery this Saturday!!
We're in Daytona Beach this Friday and Saturday, But super excited to be in Montgomery next weekend!
Love the story. Help make Lake Olmstead Stadium in Augusta, GA great again!
You guys rock! Wish you were closer to Arkansas.❤
Bucket list? Absolutely! Road trip coming soon 😊
interesting upload The Savannah Bananas. I smashed the thumbs up on your video. Keep up the awesome work.
You sir are a marketing genius. I cannot wait to watch my 1st bananas game online!
I love this story so much!! If I'm ever in Savannah again during your season, I just have to get to a game!!
What a GREAT story!!!!!!! Congrats Bananas!!
This will be a great movie!
I have a small ticket package to a local Single A team in So Cal. The Bananas are coming to Rancho Cucamonga in July. I can’t wait!
I should have waited to comment after the video. I love Minor League Baseball. The team closest to us is the Quakes. Since we’re very close to the San Andreas Fault, the Quakes play at the Epicenter and their mascots are Tremor and Aftershock. And some silly games are played as well.
Perfect!
Up in baseball heaven, Bill Veeck is smiling.
This is so cool I've been a fan of them for years, a dream job if I lived closer!
I would love this epic story to be a movie 🎥 please.. I just found you!!! “Epic story”!
So glad your dreams came true Jessie. Love you guys.
And now they are selling out MLB stadiums. So happy for all your success! Go Bananas!
Going to a savannah bananas game is on my bucket list
I spend 2 weeks on HHI every June. Tried to get tix to 'Nanners game. NOPE! All sold out. Will buy early for 2023
I believe you’ll see world famous entrepreneur and bon vivant Gene Perrone at around the 19:18 mark. Mr. Perrone makes a point of attending nearly every home game. It’s a pleasure to have him among our fans! :)
That's one of the finest, most accurate descriptions I've ever read about Gene Perrone - someone I've always admired!
Great 👍I am a fan from California (modesto nuts. Good luck!
That is a great stadium I miss going to see the Savannah saying sand gnats
I think the name is perfect! I’d love to be a part of a dream like this. It inspires me to get back to my dreams again.
I like how they put the og haters on blast full name in the clip hahaha
I am a fan of the coastal plains lueague which is made up of college players from around the country and would love to see the Savannah Bananas up here in Wilmington North Carolina to play the Wilmington Sharks
This should be mandatory viewing in undergrad marketing classes
That sure looks like a lot of fun.
I can’t wait for the world tour to come to Detroit. I want to see you all so bad!!
just got here love banana ball 💛
I'd so love this team to come to Colorado Springs and play the Vibes. Colorado Springs had a really good and fun team at one time (Sky Sox) and since they relocated to San Antonio (the Missions), it just isn't the same. One of the credit unions would sponsor a "Used Car Giveaway" and a used car was given away every inning; There were fireworks several games, 50 cent hotdogs several nights.

The Savannah Bananas are the Harlem Globetrotters of Baseball. 😂👍
The Harlem Globetrotters of baseball
Hahaha! The banana beard guy at 18:22 🤣🤣🤣
I'm literally planning a trip from Texas with my family of 7 to go catch a game. We cannot wait!
The NEW MEANING TO MARCH MADNESS!!! SPRING TRAINING!!!! THIS IS TRULY FAMILY VALUED ENTERTAINMENT.... IM SO SOLD AND Want to move their from California.... Don't know where I'd work or how but I see this happening probably soon.... 🤗
I enjoyed a game in Savannah last night. They really know how to put on a good show!
They do without a doubt!
I am 14 and interview sports figures from around the world! Jesse is by far one of the kindest and coolest people I have come across! Here's the link to my interview with him! ua-cam.com/video/8L-RgWgCdBA/v-deo.html
Love this! Go Bananas!
Hope you guys can come to Pittsburgh someday. We love wacky stuff here. We have a festival dedicated to pickles!
I’ve bin to so many games and each get better and better
This team gives big Portland Mavericks vibes. Check out "The Battered, Bastards of Baseball" great documentary
You all could make cricket fun. And yes, baseball needs pep bands.
