Renowned for their creatively entertaining baseball style and unique rule modifications, Savannah Bananas is taking baseball by storm. With only over two months left until the Savannah Bananas make their much-anticipated stop in Des Moines during the Banana Ball World Tour, this exuberant baseball team recently made yet another on-field antic, capturing the hearts of people across the nation.

The tickets for the Bananas’ engaging two-day performance at Principal Park on August 25-26 being already sold out is a testament of this lively team bringing something unusual to the table. The same story repeated when the team played Trenton Thunder in the full house game of the Banana Ball Challenger Series.

The baseball journey changed after 2022, with the start of “Banana Ball” year-round, and has been successful so far. Savannah Bananas are getting a lot of interest from around the corner, with millions engaging with the team.

In each game, there is a 3-2-2 occurring regularly, indicating the third inning, second batter, and second pitch. These moments involve distinctive in-game rituals before a pitch is thrown.

The team has over 6.8 million TikTok followers and over a million on Instagram, not for their game but their on-field antics. The focus is to maintain the motive of “We make baseball fun.” For it, the Bananas perform dances, on-field skits, and unusual actions challenging a great fan attraction.

This has given a new identity to baseball as a sport, pulling in former MLB players like Jonny Gomes, Jake Peavy, and others on their mission. And the “Banana Ball” year-round is an addition to this motive. However, it differs from regular baseball.

Banana Ball Vs. Regular Baseball

They play the Banana Ball differently than regular baseball. Every inning is worth one point, and the team getting the most runs takes all the points of that inning, except the last, where every run matters. They play the game with a two-hour time limit with a new inning after 1 hour and 50 minutes.

Besides that, a batter can not step out of the box, and cannot bunt. No walks and no mound visits are allowed. The most different rules are if a fan catches a foul ball, it’s out. And tied game after the end goes into a Showdown Tiebreaker, in which the scoring from hitter is a must.

All these factors have amounted to the rise of this unusual but different game. What is your experience of watching this game? Let us know in the comments below.
