This one is big for West Michigan, especially for Hudsonville. Really,
one West Michigan athlete just found out he is headed
for the brightest and definitely the goofiest stage in baseball.

(00:25):
I heard this, We were talking about this last week. JT. Sokolov,
the hometown athlete who grew up dreaming about a baseball career,
just got the call of a lifetime. He has officially
been selected to join the twenty twenty six roster of
the Savannah Banana.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Congratulations.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
The most entertaining, eclectic, show stopping team in all of
baseball right now, They're not just a team, They're a phenomenon.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
They're doing it right mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Trick pitches, dancing umpires, choreography on the field, the viral
moments rack up millions of views. Their games at LMCU
Ballpark sold out in just minutes. The demand was insane,
and now a Hudsonville kid is part of it all.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yes, so that's what have we got this year, Isaac Tasla.
We got Hudsonville. I mean us, I don't know what's
in the water something right, We got the cover of
Hudsonville Living from.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
The B ninety three Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
No, it's but that all serious is that's really exciting
for him. That's a The Savannah Bananas truly are have
created something that is one of the most entertaining things
to watch in the entire world.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
So he's going to join the team as a designated runner,
which is a role built for speed, personality and pure showmanship.
If you don't follow JT. Sokolov on Instagram and TikTok,
he does like really funny skits. He taught himself how
to do backflips. I mean you kind of need that
if you're joining the Savannah Bananas.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
And the support from Hudsonville has been massive. Neighbors, former teachers,
teammates he played ball at Michigan State, even strangers around
town have been stopping him for photos and cheering him on.
I think we need to get in touch with him
and do like some social stuff with him. That's a
great idea, like some skits or I don't know something fun.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
We can go to the batting cages like I love like,
go to like a Craig's cruisers, or yeah yeah, I
love it.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
So next year JT pack in his bag for Savannah
to officially begin his professional baseball adventure, one filled with skills, smiles,
and probably a few backflips, and right here in West
Michigan we will be watching and cheering him on. So
today's takeaway Today, dream big, work hard, and sometimes life
hands you a banana and a backflip. That's how you
