Savannah Bananas, the viral baseball sensation, will bring its unique and electrifying version of the sport to Cincinnati next summer.
Known for its quirky “Banana Ball” rules and entertaining game-day performances, the team will play at Great American Ball Park on June 13-14, 2025, as part of its 2025 Banana Ball World Tour.
What is Banana Ball?
Unlike traditional baseball, Banana Ball features unconventional rules that add excitement and fan interaction.
Every inning in Banana Ball is worth a point, and whichever team wins the inning gets that point. This creates a fast-paced game that builds tension with every inning.
The last inning counts every run, adding even more excitement. To make things even wilder, there’s no bunting allowed, and if a fan catches a foul ball, it’s counted as an out!
The Savannah Bananas initially played in the Coastal Plain League, a competitive summer league for top collegiate players, but in 2022, they switched to focus exclusively on their signature Banana Ball.
The Savannah Bananas Experience
Banana Ball games are not just about the action on the field. The Savannah Bananas are known for their off-the-wall entertainment.
Players perform choreographed dances and sometimes set their bats on fire. Fans are treated to performances by the Banana Nanas, a senior citizen dance team that always brings energy to the crowd.
With stunts like these, the Savannah Bananas blur the lines between sports and entertainment, creating a fun experience for everyone.
Cincinnati fans can expect an unforgettable two-day event when the Bananas come to town. With their viral appeal and one-of-a-kind rules, this is not just a baseball game—it’s a full-on show.
Excitement Building for the 2025 Tour
The 2025 Banana Ball World Tour promises to be bigger and better than ever, with the team set to visit cities across the U.S., including a must-see stop in Cincinnati.
Local fans of all ages will get the chance to witness the Savannah Bananas’ creative, high-energy brand of baseball right in the heart of Queen City.
