For hardcore baseball fans, one team is always closer to their heart than others. But even if someone doesn’t know the first thing about the sport, chances are they’ve heard of the New York Yankees. Arguably one of the most popular features of American culture, the Yankees are sometimes synonymous with MLB. But with the world of social media gaining steam, there’s another team that is giving tough competition to the Bronx Bombers in popularity. For those unversed, that team is the Savannah Bananas, founded by baseball lover Jesse Cole.

If one isn’t intrigued by their name at first glance, maybe their antics on the field will grab their attention. From flaming bats to breaking out into dance, the Bananas have done it all. And that is exactly what has made them a TikTok sensation at nearly 4 million followers, which is 3 million more than the Yankees. And the most recent stunt on the field has people talking yet again.
