Just looked and she is actually ahead of me as well after day 1 haha

They are still cursed.

They don’t play baseball they play banana ball It’s not even the same sport with the same rules. There are zero stakes. This was a game created by out-of-towners for out-of-towners. And once all the droves of people have seen the dry humping and stilts hitting once and there’s no real baseball to sustain real fans of the game, it will fade like another TikTok fad.

Not surprised. The Gnats weren’t wrong for wanting upgrades, but the bananas actually have leverage now.

Plus, considering they’re sold out until 2030 it seems like, idk why they don’t put stands back over in left like they used to have (although idk if the gnats had used them since smoltz played a game there on a rehab stint once lol)

And honestly, I wouldn’t be too surprised if they outgrew the city in and started playing mostly elsewhere kinda like how the globetrotters don’t really play in Harlem. I mean, last I heard, the bananas had more Twitter/instagram followers than every single MLB team. I don’t blame them for trying to capitalize on that.

Not exactly, they only sell tickets about 2 months in advance, so anything after May isn’t really available yet. But they had so much interest that they had to do a lottery and stop presale registration.

I had Arizona to the finals in my bracket. To whoever at work wins my buy-in, enjoy it. Next year Im throwing darts for the first round

Let downs are a part of AZ sports culture. Lol. Not surprised.

both Virginia’s lol

Better than mine

The quality of baseball they play is pretty much the same to almost everyone that isn’t a scout, the bananas just actually try to make it fun when they’re not playing (and when they are but something tells me breakdancing base coaches aren’t gonna appeal to you lol). It’s not like the Gnats saw major league level talent that often. The last major leaguer player I can think of to play for them was Ryan Zimmerman for like two weeks before he was moved up because he was actually good.

Whether it’s your thing or not, it’s making baseball more popular, and that’s good for the sport. I mean, there’s probably been more people that have gone to Grayson Stadium in the last 3 years than the previous 10.

And how much is yours worth?

My best pick in years

I’m dying - tell me this is A Cinderella Story reference 😂

Yeah fr dude own one of the hardest things to get in Savannah and said no thanks I’m good..

The Sand Gnats were great. You didn’t have to stand in line for 3 hours only to not get a seat in the grand stand. And there were no players stripping on the dugouts and 1st base coaches dry humping the ground to Miley Cyrus songs. They just played actual baseball.

Agreed. It was a little sad, but Gnats played way more games, so attendance was a little watered down. I think Bananas are trying to get new facilities now also.

I do feel they’ll end up victims of their own ambition and ditching league play was short-sighted. But their games are fun as hell.

Also it was Gnate the Gnat, put some respect on his name lol!

This guy Bananas.

And not covered by this agreement.

I mean, the team that played there before them was a MiLB team, that played “real” baseball, and I can tell you, everyone at those games was bored after 15 minutes

Good for those Princeton kids! Glad they finally caught a break!

This is the most rediculous shit I've ever seen! Some would even say that this shit is BANANAS!

Never pick Arizona. Santa Clara still hurts. They always find a way to waste it (other than their title in the late 90s).

Their entire 2023 season is sold out too.

Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron all played at Grayson Stadium. Wonder what they would think of Banana Ball?
