Savannah Bananas Game

The basis for our trip to Tybee was to see a Savannah Bananas game.  Thankfully we were able to snag tickets through their group department as the seats sold out before they ever went on sale to the public.  The Savannah Bananas are a minor league baseball team that has become a recent viral sensation.  Outside their regular games, they play "Banana Ball" games which involve their own set of rules designed to make the game faster paced and highly entertaining.  They play their arch rival, the Party Animals, which is comprised of college and minor league players off for the late summer.  With 3 families of baseball loving dads and boys, they were all super excited for the opportunity!

Most of us decided to go with the theme and wear banana outfits.  The boys also enjoyed wearing their banana hats around the house.

The stadium is open seating and all-you-can-eat, so we got to the game early to make sure we got good seats and ended up in a prime spot to watch the opening parade and pre-game show.

Once the gates opened we grabbed prime seats, loaded up on ballpark food and banana soda and enjoyed the pregame festivities.  The game was their final one of this season so it was an extra festive atmosphere with non-stop activities.

Once the game started, the fun continued.  There was great music, banana ball dog, first baseman on stilts, crazy antics on and off the field.  It was all very entertaining and the game flew by.

After the game we hung out in the pavilion for a while where music played and the players signed autographs.  The girls were very into the autographs and had to be torn away to leave.

It was definitely a fun experience.  Hopefully their 2023 tour will take them near Atlanta so we can see them again!
