Banana Ball emphasizes continuous play and delivers a high-octane, entertainment-packed game that keeps both players and fans engaged. The experience includes choreographed dances between pitches and flash toga parties at home plate, along with 11 unique rules that set it apart from traditional baseball.
These rules include a two-hour time limit, batters stealing first base, and a one-on-one tie-breaking showdown. The most famous Banana Ball rule states that if a fan catches a foul ball, it counts as an out.
More than 2.2 million fans in 40 cities witnessed Banana Ball in 2025. ESPN and Disney+ showcased 12 Savannah Bananas games throughout the season at venues including MLB ballparks and NFL stadiums.
