Bold, brash and dressed in vibrant yellow, the Savannah Bananas are visiting Seattle for the first time Friday and Saturday to play Banana Ball against The Firefighters at T-Mobile Park.
According to the Savannah Bananas website, Banana Ball is “a fast-paced, action-packed style of baseball with rules that include no bunting, a two-hour time limit, fans catching foul balls for outs, batters stealing first base and a one-on-one tiebreaker showdown at the end of the game if the game is tied.” On top of that, players perform choreographed dances, pull off trick plays and other theatrics.
The Savannah Bananas have been based in Savannah, Ga., since 2015. This year’s Banana Ball World Tour brings the team to 24 cities across the U.S., including Seattle, where tickets are sold out both nights
