The Savannah Bananas were born in Georgia, but at least some of the credit for their explosive growth into a nationwide spectacle must go to a Colorado native.

Zack Frongillo, the Bananas’ director of entertainment, is a Dakota Ridge High School alum who is from Littleton. Frongillo has been with the franchise since 2021, helping Bananas owner Jesse Cole morph the brand from a college summer league team into a baseball craze that sells out stadiums across America.

The Bananas visit Coors Field this weekend for games on Saturday and Sunday, where Banana Ball will make its Colorado debut. Banana Ball is a fast-paced, dance-filled version of baseball with unique rules, trick plays, outlandish celebrations and fans’ ability to become part of the action by catching foul balls for outs.
