About the Savannah Bananas:
They've been called everything from "the most fun baseball team ever" to "the best story in sports." Their meteoric rise is the stuff of movies, and their story is stranger than fiction.
The Savannah Bananas are an exhibition baseball team based in Savannah, GA. The easiest way to describe them is "the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball" (to quote sportswriter Joe Pompliano). Since their inception in 2016, they've garnered three league championships, limelight on ESPN and other national outlets, have sold out massive arenas, and have gone viral more than a handful of times thanks to their wacky on-field antics.
It's Not Baseball: It's "Banana Ball:"
What's different about Savannah's brand of "Banana Ball" compared to the regular rules of baseball? Wikipedia has done a nice job outlining some of the rule changes/modifications. Here are a few of them:
- A two-hour time limit on games. If a team is leading on points at that time, they wins.
- Foul balls caught by fans are counted as outs.
- No bunting. A batter who attempts a bunt is ejected from the game.
- Batters are not allowed to step out of the batters box; a violation is an automatic strike.
- Batters are allowed to "steal" first base. Specifically, they can attempt to advance to first base in case of a wild pitch or passed ball at any time during the at-bat.
- Walks are now called sprints. After the fourth ball, the batter is allowed to advance as far around the bases as he can. The ball must be sequentially thrown to all of the fielders apart from the pitcher, starting with the catcher; the ball remains dead, with the batter-runner not liable to be put out, until all fielders apart from the pitcher and catcher have touched the ball.
