The Savannah Bananas, a viral baseball sensation known for their unique style of play, are coming to the Queen City next summer.

Banana Ball is played a little differently than traditional baseball and has some strange rules that stipulate that each inning is worth one point. Whichever team wins each frame gets a point until the last inning, when every run counts.

At Banana Ball, pennants are also not allowed and if a fan catches a foul ball, it counts as an out.

Originally a member of the Coastal Plain League, a summer collegiate league featuring some of the best collegiate players in the country, the Bananas left league operations in 2022 to focus full-time on Banana Ball.

It's not just rule changes that differentiate Banana Ball from a more traditional baseball game. Players perform choreographed dances, bats are lit, and the Banana Nanas senior dance team performs to enhance the gaming experience for fans.
