CLEVELAND, Ohio – Banana Ball – the zany mashup brand of baseball and entertainment – is returning to Cleveland with a ticket lottery that is open this month.
Banana Ball is a general term for the brand of baseball made popular by the Savannah Bananas. The Bananas are not playing this coming year in Cleveland, but two of the teams in their league are - the Party Animals and the Indianapolis Clowns at Progressive Field on Sept. 25-26.
To secure a chance at attending, you can join the official 2026 Banana Ball ticket lottery by Friday, Oct. 31.
