The Savanna Bananas are to baseball what the Harlem Globetrotters are to basketball. While the fundamentals of the game are essentially the same, the lively spirit, playful irreverence, and whimsical stunts make “Banana Ball” an unforgettable experience.
Fans are eager to catch the Bananas in action, along with their rivals, the Party Animals, demonstrating that enjoyment and baseball can indeed go hand in hand. The Bananas dominate social media and regularly fill stadiums with supporters who arrive hours ahead of the game to take part in the festivities.
Banana Ball showcases a variety of trick plays, extensive fan interaction, and vibrant showmanship. Players often break into choreographed dance routines, bat on stilts, and perform other eye-catching stunts—even in the heat of competition.
That said, the baseball talents of the Bananas and their opponents are no joke. Many players have aspirations of playing at the highest level, having experience in minor leagues or collegiate baseball.
While the major leagues haven’t recruited the Bananas or Party Animals, they certainly bring a big-league flair when it comes to entertainment. Below, you can find the high school baseball backgrounds of the Savannah Bananas and Party Animals.
