I mean the attendance for Sand Gnats games was also kinda shit for the last couple years. The games weren’t terrible, but compared to the bananas, they were kinda, idk, depressing.

And I don’t know what they were asking for from the city in terms of facilities, but I can see the city being reluctant to do anything to Grayson Stadium (being a historic landmark is gonna make any kind of repair more expensive) for a team struggling with attendance (something the bananas have never had an issue with)

Anyways serves them right after replacing Nick the Gnat with Nate /s

Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Mikey Mantle, Jackie Robinson all played at Grayson Stadium. What do you think they would think about Banana Ball?

Arizona has lost the 2 15 match up twice while Princeton has won the 2 15 match up twice.

edit: Take all my upvotes away. Princeton was a 13 seed when they beat UCLA. I apologize for the very wrong info I thought I knew. Arizona still chokes in March

They are downvoting but you are not completely wrong. People on reddit people are naturally more open to something like this but there are tons of baseball fans who are very much not into it and even actively dislike it lol

After the 11th round currently 100k of signing bonus doesn't count towards the cap so I could very easily see them giving 100k signing bonus because you asked, especially if they like you.

Wow, didn’t know you were the arbiter of what’s good and bad for baseball. What an honor to meet such an important person.

I had Princeton and Furman today!

How does this get fans? How does this get money? How is this recognition?

I would say the globetrotters do play basketball. Or at least entertain as such. But the bananas are pretty clearly playing bananaball, not baseball. It’s their whole deal.

Keep guessing. Been to plenty enough to know it’s good for the sport, but not so many since I moved out of Parkside.

They also disbanded the college team after last season to focus strictly on the banana ball pro team that everyone sees all over social media

Young fans that care nothing about baseball only TikTok dances, no money for struggling minor league players and spotlights something that ordinary people in Savannah could give two shits about.

Reminds me of Jerma baseball

Other than young fans, money, and national recognition, nothing.

How many Bananas games have you been to? I’m guessing you’re just another uninformed boob.

Go Devils

That’s like saying the Harlem Globetrotters don’t play basketball. Dumb

I figured they just got sold to the carnival barker guy and lost their affiliation.

So dead tickets are hard to get! Or sold out every game. Either way.

It’s fun for people who do to minor league games for the between-inning hijinx, little kids and teenage girls. Anyone who goes to watch actual baseball will be bored after 15 minutes.

Your opinion and $2.75 gets me a ride on the train.

No, i am a fan of the rich history of baseball. This adds nothing to the game.

Nah, people who truly love the game will appreciate anyone out there actively promoting the sport in any form they can - especially if they make it fun for people who aren't the typical fan.
