BANANA BALL

Based in Savannah, GA, the Savannah Bananas are a professional baseball team and play their home games at Historic Grayson Stadium, but they are taking the show on the road!

What is Banana Ball? 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.
