The Savannah Bananas are back for another season of their wild, wacky brand of baseball.
This year's team will bring Banana Ball to several venues, including six MLB stadiums. The Bananas are set to play the largest game in Banana Ball history at Citizens Bank Park, which is the home of the Philadelphia Phillies.
When the Savannah Bananas take the field, you know that you will see a sporting event unlike any other. The unusual rules, fan interactions, choreographed dances — there is no need to question Banana Ball. Just embrace the madness.

Savannah Bananas tour schedule 2024
The Savannah Bananas will make stops in 26 cities this year. They played their first road game of the season in Tampa, Fla. back in February, and their final game is scheduled for October 12 in Miami.
Most Savannah Bananas games are played against the Party Animals. While the teams may share a similar dynamic to the Harlem Globetrotters vs. Washington Generals rivalry, the games are never scripted. The Bananas and Party Animals are both trying to win.
The celebrations and dances, however, are always planned before the games start. (Preparation is important, folks.)

Banana Ball rules
Banana Ball has 11 rules that are designed to add more entertainment value to the game and eliminate long stretches without any action.
- Every inning is worth one point. The team that wins the inning gets the point for that inning. In the last inning of the game, every run counts.
- A new inning cannot be started after two hours of game time.
- A hitter cannot step out of the box. If a hitter does step out, a strike will be added to the count.
- A hitter is not allowed to bunt.
- A hitter is allowed to attempt to steal first base on any pitch of an at-bat.
- There are no walks. If a pitcher throws four balls, every defensive player on the field must touch the ball before it becomes live. A hitter can advance to as many bases as possible.
- Catchers and coaches are not allowed to visit the mound.
- If a fan catches a foul ball, the catch results in an out.
- If the game is tied at the end of the time limit, the Showdown Tiebreaker will decide which team wins the game.
- Each team is allowed to challenge one ruling on the field (fair/foul ball calls, force/tag play calls and catch play calls). Fans will also have the ability to challenge one ruling during the game.
- The Golden Batter Rule allows a team to send any hitter to bat in any spot in the lineup. It can only be used once per game.
(More details on the Showdown Tiebreaker, challenges and other rules can be found here.)
