“I don’t think anyone expected this.” This is the journey of becoming the Bananas. The real story with never before seen footage. A Fans First Film produced by Ben Sheffield
It's so inspiring I cried. Selling your home and putting your life savings into your passion is incredible. I am doing the same right now...thanks for the faith.
My wife and I moved to Savannah last year, but it wasn’t until our first Bananas game that the city felt like home to us. We were lucky enough to see game 3 of the CPL championship. What energy. What an atmosphere. We’ve already got our tickets for June. Go bananas!
I'm not into baseball but I wanna go to one of these games. You popped up on my tiktok and it looks like the most entertaining game of baseball with all the dancing and shenanigans. I'm glad yall took the risk.
This is awesome I found your shorts on youtube and literally bingewatched them. Wish I lived in the States so I could go to your games. Love it from Canada.
I saw a video of your pitcher doing some dances before a pitch today, and now here I am learning your story and wanting to visit your team and stadium. Congrats on your success and I wish you and your team so much more!
Really is! I am 14 and interview sports figures from around the world! Jesse is by far one of the kindest and coolest people I have come across! Here's the link to my interview with him! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8L-RgWgCdBA.html
I was stationed at Ft. Stewart in the early 2000s and went here often-ish. Cant wait to visit and show support to this organization. I wish everyone involved the best ⚾🍌
I live in San Diego and I just added visiting the Savanah Bananas 🍌 Baseball team to my bucket 🪣 list. Great vibe 😂👍🏾 Looks like everyone has a great time at Greyson Stadium !!!
It's really cool to see a minor league team finally really embrace the quirkiness of their name. There are and have been many teams in minor league sports with great names like the Macon Bacon, Florida Everblades, Iowa Barnstormers, New Orleans Voodoo, Las Vegas 51's, Omaha Beef just to name a few but none have really gone over the top until the Bananas. Minor league sport teams should really take notice.
The minor league team in my town announced the name and no one applauded. People walked out of the event. The media ripped it apart. Now? Everyone loves it. The name? The Montgomery Biscuits. The batters box is called the oven!
Same thing happened here in Amarillo. The Sod Poodles. Everyone lost their minds. 3 years in, the seats are full and the team is well loved and supported. Great story Savanah Bananas!
When you decide to just put 100% into the joke and make yourself a meme and not take yourself too seriously, you earn a hell of a lot of respect from me. “The biscuits and the oven?” Cheesy but really prime for dad jokes galore. And I hope you all go all in with the puns.
Want to know the key?This is how you bring the fans back to the game of baseball.With entertainment baseball instead of pizza pizza ads all game...THIS IS AWESOME FOR THE GAME❤❤
My son played his last baseball game as a senior in this stadium in March of 2020. We are part of a small private school and the team we were playing didn't have a field so that is why we were there. The very next practice they had to turn in their jerseys because of COVID and lost out on the rest of the season. I remember them talking about the Savannah Bannanas and how they wanted to come back one day and watch a game.
Wow you all are inspiring! What an incredible story of beating the odds. Thanks for hanging on in the darkness moments and finding a way. You have created something amazingly special.
Wow ! I live in Hinesville and naturally from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. I am a die hard baseball fan and never heard about this. Amazing story! I will be in one of the games soon! 🙏🏽
I think I have commented once on a RU-vid video. Never heard of this team before a friend put it on Facebook. On vacation this year traveling from Florida north, you can bet we will make a stop in Savannah to see this team. This is what baseball has been lacking, FUN!!
I am a life long residence of Savannah. I was a BIG opponent of the name. I am happy to say I am wrong! The Savannah Bananas has bought attention to Savannah like when the Book Goo In The Garden Of Evil came out. Congratulations Bananas.
Absolutely AMAZING!!! I just found you guys because of the Dirty Dancing Skit! I’ve watched it & shared it quite a few times! You guys ROCK!! I’ll definitely be getting a T-shirt!! Love you all & can’t wait to see more of your talent! Whether it’s Baseball or the Dancing Skits!!
8:20 this sparked what has become a golden age of goofy minor league team names with catchy merch. Teams like the Sock Puppets and Disco Turkeys owe everything they have to the Bananas!
The globetrotters of baseball!!!!!! I have never heard of this team I've never seen them play.. I'm from Oregon transplanted in cali at age of 16 I'm about the Salem angels, the Portland winter Hawks and love the Oakland A's BUT NOW HOLY DAMN SAVANNAH BANANA'S IM HOOKED ON THIS TEAM FULL FLEDGED FAN!!! GOTTA COME OUT THERE NEXT SEASON AND WATCH!!!!
THANK YOU JESSIE COLE! ONE AWESOME VISION!!+ Some. Your guys visited my niece in Baton Rouge Louisiana 💕 today. She is fighting an aggressive cancer (14 years young) . But for just a moment everything was perfect! And it was all YELLOW & PINK! Keep up with your awesomeness!
As someone who lives near the Grizzlies park, I remember people talking about going to the games. They had a blast. Can't wait to go to Savannah to watch the Bananas.
I really hope banana ball becomes nation wide one day. It has the potential to be as big as MLB. It is so much fun and the best part is you don’t have to love baseball to have a great time at one of thier games. I would love to see them make more teams.
Holy crap, I love this. I'm from St Louis and I'm going to load up on some Banana gear. I'd love to be a part of this. Showing my Bananna everywhere I go from now on.😎
They came to Vegas to play am not a big fan of baseball anymore but I had blast watching this team play hope they come back again to Vegas I be the first one in line the way they bring the fan into the game this made baseball fun again for me please return to Vegas next year
I am a fan of the coastal plains lueague which is made up of college players from around the country and would love to see the Savannah Bananas up here in Wilmington North Carolina to play the Wilmington Sharks
I have a small ticket package to a local Single A team in So Cal. The Bananas are coming to Rancho Cucamonga in July. I can’t wait! I should have waited to comment after the video. I love Minor League Baseball. The team closest to us is the Quakes. Since we’re very close to the San Andreas Fault, the Quakes play at the Epicenter and their mascots are Tremor and Aftershock. And some silly games are played as well. Perfect!
I believe you’ll see world famous entrepreneur and bon vivant Gene Perrone at around the 19:18 mark. Mr. Perrone makes a point of attending nearly every home game. It’s a pleasure to have him among our fans! :)
The NEW MEANING TO MARCH MADNESS!!! SPRING TRAINING!!!! THIS IS TRULY FAMILY VALUED ENTERTAINMENT.... IM SO SOLD AND Want to move their from California.... Don't know where I'd work or how but I see this happening probably soon.... 🤗
They do without a doubt! I am 14 and interview sports figures from around the world! Jesse is by far one of the kindest and coolest people I have come across! Here's the link to my interview with him! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8L-RgWgCdBA.html
I'd so love this team to come to Colorado Springs and play the Vibes. Colorado Springs had a really good and fun team at one time (Sky Sox) and since they relocated to San Antonio (the Missions), it just isn't the same. One of the credit unions would sponsor a "Used Car Giveaway" and a used car was given away every inning; There were fireworks several games, 50 cent hotdogs several nights. Sadly, none of these events happen anymore. If you all came to Colorado Springs, I would so wear my Carmen Miranda hat and root for the visiting team. I want to come to Savannah just to see a game.
prime example of how idiots congregate on social media and most people don't know a damn thing. Bananas was a BRILLIANT name and kudos to you for having the GUTS to go with your gut. I just ordered a hat and next time we are down to HH I will be at a game
