The Savannah Banas actually started as a legit baseball team. Once they added entertainment, they started to become a phenomenon. Since then, they incorporated more entertainment, while keeping baseball as the soft backbone. They still play games and still compete, although the actual rules of baseball are often ignored, not that anyone cares.
Basically, the Bananas are sort of like the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. They sell out stadiums wherever they go. I don't know when (if?) the novelty will wear off, but for now, the Bananas are extremely popular.
Earlier this summer, the Bananas played a three-game series against the Fire Fighters (one of the six teams in the Banana Ball League) at Wrigley Field. When Dunkin' hosted a Banana event near my home that morning, I met brothers Zachary and Noah Bridges of the Fire Fighters. The event drew a huge crowd, as most Bananas events do.,
