Kyle Luigs #12 and Dan Oberst #19 of the Savannah Bananas are introduce prior to their game against the Party Animals at Richmond County Bank Ball Park on August 12, 2023 in New York City. The Savannah Bananas were part of the Coastal Plain League, a summer collegiate league, for seven seasons. In 2022, the Bananas announced that they were leaving the Coastal Plain League to play Banana Ball year-round. Banana Ball was born out of the idea of making baseball more fast-paced, entertaining, and fun.

The team has announced they will visit Tropicana Field next year. The Savannah Bananas St. Pete visit happens March 15 and March 16, 2025.
The exhibition baseball team based in Savannah, Georgia was founded in 2016. Their world tours sell out big stadiums so for those who usually buy tickets for games at The Trop last minute, you might want to rethink that strategy. The 2 games on the 2025 Banana Ball World Tour at Tropicana Field will surely sell out.
The team's slogan: "Fans First. Entertain Always." Last year the team played in front of one million fans in 29 cities. It was the first year they played Major League Baseball stadiums like The Trop.
