The Savannah Bananas announced their 2024 World Tour for 2024 on Friday.
“Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, and Potassium Enthusiasts from around the world... this is the Greatest Tour Schedule in Sports,” the Savannah Bananas said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The Savannah Bananas are “known for its quirky rules and viral dance moves,” according to WSB-TV.
“Banana Ball has become the fastest and most entertaining game in sports. With its fast-paced rules and emphasis on continuous play, Banana Ball strips away the often criticized lulls and lengthy pauses typical of traditional baseball, delivering a high-octane and entertainment-packed game that keeps both players and fans on their toes. Banana Ball has 11 unique rules. The most notorious rule is that if a fan catches a foul ball, it counts as an out,” the Savannah Bananas said on their website.
Plus, the Savannah Bananas will be partnering with Norweigan Cruise Line for a Banana takeover called “Bananaland at Sea.” This will be Oct. 14 to 18, according to USA Today.
