the Savannah Bananas are in action against the Firefighters live
from Fenway Park in Boston. If you haven't seen it,
Banana ball is a totally different kind of baseball where
they score points instead of runs, Fans can help make
outs by catching a foul ball, and lots of nonsense
happens on and off the field. The Bananas Game will

impossible foods. The women's contest kicks off at ten forty
