The Savannah Bananas are a viral sensation and exhibition baseball team based in Savannah, Georgia, known for blending competitive baseball with over-the-top entertainment. Founded in 2016 by Jesse Cole, the team has redefined the game through their unique "Banana Ball" rules, choreographed dances, outrageous promotions, and a relentless focus on fan experience. Often described as the "Harlem Globetrotters of baseball," the Bananas have built a massive online following and sell out every home game, proving that fun and creativity can revolutionize even the most traditional sports.
I chat with Jackson Olson of the team to hear what it truely means to be a Savannah Bananas, future goals, how he got signed, and the freedom of being part of the incredible sport.
