Daily Dance: The Savannah Bananas

The collegiate summer baseball team the Savannah Bananas, who operate out of the Coastal Plain League, sell out every game. It’s baseball but also part entertainment (in a Harlem Globetrotter vein) and part circus. https://twitter.com/TheSavBananas/status/1439212620024741890 From ESPN:

The Savannah Bananas, a collegiate summer league team that routinely takes a sledgehammer to conventionality, begin each home game by wrapping an infant in a banana outfit and raising the baby to the sky like Simba.

The Bananas once famously played a baseball game in kilts, then decided to make it an annual tradition. They employ a pep band and a dancing first-base coach.

Their cheerleading squad, the “Man-Nanas,” is made up of out-of-shape middle-aged men, and their dance team, the “Banana Nanas,” consists of women in their late 60s.
