Anyone ever been to a Savannah Bananas game?

I had the opportunity to attend one of their games a couple of weeks ago. It's a unique twist on conventional baseball (kinda like the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball), but really entertaining. They call it Banana Ball. Some interesting rules like:

If a batter steps out of the batter’s box, it's a strike.

No bunting.

Batters can steal first on a wild pitch.

No walks allowed. If a pitcher throws the fourth ball it becomes a sprint to home! Every defensive player has to touch the ball before the runner can be thrown out.

If a fan catches a foul ball, it's an out.

All games have a two hour time limit.

Tie breaker rule. Each team picks one pitcher, one hitter, and one fielder to face off.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

I try to save a life a day, usually it is my own.


We went a few weeks ago...the place was packed. I believe

the majority, if not all, of their home games are sellouts. The free food (hamburgers, hotdogs, popcorn, drinks, etc.) was pretty cool.

Seemed that many in the crowd were regulars with a bunch wearing Savannah Bananas' gear and able to yell the right thing at the right time.

Great for kids and entertaining for adults.

Our only regret was getting there right at game time. Got stuck in traffic for over an hour.

It's supposed to be stupid.

I've never been to a game, but I've seen youtube clips.

Think of it as "comic relief."

Baseball is a 162 episodes of a drama series.
Banana Ball is a one night episode of The #### Van Dyke Show.

I think that's kind of the point.***
