Savannah Bananas to play three games at 121 Financial Ballpark in 2024 Bananas scheduled to play March 1-3, 2024 in Jacksonville 

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Savannah Bananas are bringing their 2024 Banana Ball World Tour to 121 Financial  Ballpark for three games from March 1-3, 2024. 
Affectionately referred to as ‘The Greatest Show in Sports” by ESPN, the Bananas have reimagined the baseball experience  and the game itself. In addition to the cast of characters, dancers, performers, mascots and musicians, the Bananas are  bringing their own twist of baseball to 121 Financial Ballpark. Banana Ball is a fast-paced, action-packed style of baseball  with rules that include no bunting, a two-hour time limit, fans catching foul balls for outs, batters stealing first base, and a  one-on-one tiebreaker showdown at the end of the game if it’s tied.  

The Bananas have been featured across the globe for everything from playing a game in kilts, using a Dancing First Base  Coach, the first-ever baseball player to wear stilts, players back-flipping while catching fly balls and more. Fans can watch  previous Banana Ball games on ESPN+ and the Bananas YouTube page. 
The Bananas will face off against their rival, the Party Animals. All team rosters will be filled with the most entertaining  and talented players in the world, including former MLB stars and celebrity guests. In 2023, former Major League stars  Jake Peavy, Hunter Pence, Johnny Damon, Josh Reddick and Barry Zito all joined the team during the tour.  

“I think this year showed people that we aren’t just here to entertain but that we can actually play at a very high level too,”  Bananas infielder Jackson Olson said. “2023 was life-changing for all of us, but 2024 is about to be the biggest challenge  yet, and we’re all ready for it.” 
After selling out every night of the seven-city 2022 Banana Ball World Tour, the Bananas played a pair of games in 2023 in  Jacksonville. When the Savannah Bananas are not on the road, they play their home games in front of a sold-out, 4,000- person crowd at Grayson Stadium in Savannah, Georgia. Bananas games at Grayson Stadium have been sold out for nine  straight years.
