There's a New Version of Baseball in Savannah

We are in Savannah playing a very special kind of baseball today Banana ball the Roosevelt's crew sent us down here to cover it and bring it to you guys We also teamed up with them and they made Savannah banana shirts You guys purchased those and the proceeds went to the players playing in these games, which is awesome Now Roosevelt's has a new collection coming out a new sandlot Collection, which I'm very excited about because I love the sandlot and I love Roosevelt's you go to RSVL TS Dot-com use code John boy and you get 20% off. We think the collections coming out April 6, so stay tuned Today is going to be bananas. We're gonna have dancing Nana's pass ball craziness Snowwalks Jimmy's throwing the first banana poppies gonna be dancing. It's gonna be a day Never pitch again. Yeah, right Yeah On a ball for walk Obviously the runner can advance at his own will as much as he wants until every fielder touches the ball gun. It's live So strategy to defend that Pretty much what the bananas are gonna do today all the outfielders It's a dead sprint to second base all the infielders try to converge that way It's more of a flip flip instead of like a hot potato instead of throwing it the left of center to right and then back In it's much quicker. And if we do it, right, we can keep it to a single Are you if you get walked how far you make I'm making a third I can move you're about to find out Okay, big boy can move I have the honor of throwing out the first banana today Jake down there And we're gonna get a little bullpen session and see how this goes I'm gonna go try to catch my ball with this glove and I don't think it's gonna end well Jake steps up to the front of the line Ball is in the air back and back and he's under it tiny gloves. Oh doesn't stay on his feet But makes the catch pretty good. I mean, he's very happy with himself and I'm happy for him So you think they're talking strategy hitting runs got to get the extra base. No, this is the entertainment meeting This is a show who's doing what dance? This is it. No, I'm doing that. Don't do that This is a show that happens to have baseball good baseball professional baseball players Doing a show just getting their choreography, right? Can I trust you to catch it? Yeah, you can trust me to block it from hitting you. Okay. Oh Shit dancing I get you bad. No, but I did kind of flinch That thing was gross split banana cream soda little review Cheers Roosevelts Dot-com slash John boy little inside info. It's pretty good. We had this yesterday. I've been craving it ever since It's absolutely delicious. It's cream soda if you've ever had that but the banana flavor is there and it adds It's banana cream soda. It's so delicious. It almost tastes like a banana split melted down Like if dip a banana split dippin dots melted and was a drink almost close to that. Yeah. Oh, I see the dippin dots Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so thank you to Roosevelt's for sending us down here For hosting us grandpa's medicine and you put a little rum in here and you have yourself a time. You're on island time instantly I think we head near the cages. I'd like to get a couple swings Yeah, guy dude, bro guy dude, bro, I put you on my story Yeah Jake is a Jake is a wide base and he just hits it on the ground every time so If he's going in mix He gets like a pool host this Our little power bar got Jake I guess he's taking swings we should make him follow this dude It's putting them over the wall with ease But yeah, Jake's batting stances. We pull this wide leg like this One hand release Damon style and he usually shoots the middle on the ground That's called a double let's clear the infield Good You do the scope Did that get out? Lot of quickie out a lot of quick. Yeah The show off one for the weigh-in. Oh, yeah, you gotta get some footage of that. Oh, he said he was coming to show you I'm William Wallace Like this like that or should I use one arm? Something's gonna let's see the one is that the shot who wants it? California The bananas are not losing right? No, not a chance. What would you predict as a final score tonight? Nana up Thank you. How are we doing? You know just living the dream and chillin trying to get these old hips loose You uh, have you got a part of the sprint as a hitter? Tried this still first last week and the ball comes off super hard at the backstop And I get beat by about a step and I was very unhappy. What was the count? Okay, that's fair the backstop I had to take the chance my doppelganger wild bill We do although you were hitting bullets What's what's that what are the home run trots like Swaggy, you know, we're gonna get appealed like a banana out here, man. We're gonna have fun with it. I like that Let's get peeled. Let's get peeled Bananas are talking ----. There's no other way to say it. He said he's hitting a homer and he's Unpeeling a banana slowly as he drags around the base original. He's unoriginal because that was already done, you know I'd like to see him come up with something on his own, but it's okay If he wants to mock what happened last week, I mean now I heard that you guys are the favorite today Is that so yeah upstairs? Yeah, I guess has you guys minus 130. I guess is minus 130 I Did it it was kind of like jumping in I couldn't stand and throw Everything is all-inclusive By an $18 ticket, it's all you can drink all you can eat all you can whatever fan first They're crazy bananas, if you will They play a different kind of baseball down here in Savannah. It's called Banana ball banana ball the Savannah bananas created a new version of baseball and it's wild and the best rule of all Is if there is a foul ball and a fan catches it You're out So the Savannah banana fans know not to catch their own but the party animals or whoever's in town Watch out a pretty big home field advantage the biggest home if the bananas hit a ball into the crowd foul No one's catching and if they catch it and they're out they are kicked out of the game Tartan feathered in the middle of town the party animals are going against every out defender on the field and every defender in the stance I'm excited. Someone got murdered. We're going to find the fan that caught the foul ball, sir What the hell I just looked up and I saw a ball coming at me. So I just decided to catch it It's a good catch. It's a good catch. Where's your head at during all of this? I'm considering leaving him at this point. What the hell? That's a good question, man You know, he's not my fan. What happened? I I wish I could tell you I you know I was just fighting it off trying to stay alive and then he just killed it for me Zach you have to get some Maceo Maceo Maceo is never lost the party animals got two across in the top the inning Bananas need two to tie. This is the dude or three and they got this is they got the first round draft pick Jacob's skull hit nothing but rockets and BP skull Okay Yeah, he's good he's in go to three oh he wants it So that emotion of ball four and the dugout just That's pretty cool, how many at bats have you taken in stilts to be the first batting? He made some pretty good contact to band practice the other day I'm not gonna lie and then he he kind of moved down the line those stilts pretty quick He got thrown out then it would have been bad banana ball that was heads up banana ball People are saying that okay here comes stilts a little bit stilts to the left You know once you see it, it does come off a bit ridiculous There's only one person in his element right here Look at the power walk Strut some people are calling you a hero. I would agree with that Only professional baseball player to never record an out on stilts while having it at bat Hello, what is this experience been like for you guys so far tonight because it's a little different than your typical Yankees game, right? No, it'll do Same same exact thing. Yeah, they all pitch to the pride of L.A. Pierce and he goes down swinging And that secures the game All right All right, this is the man behind the madness Jesse your brainchild, thank you very much for having us that was a Spectacle and some pretty cool baseball and the guys are throwing hard out there, too So that was one it was it was definitely a circus in the rain We're gonna play banana ball. That was 2.0. Does it break your heart? It was it was tough. It was tough You know, I would have liked it to be a faster pace a little bit gone nine innings But I think it's now tied the series is tied. So yeah, you got drama going into one city world tour Yeah, a little drama. We gotta thank you. We gotta thank Roosevelt This is unreal Baseball is small then you're doing well, we got a first banana throw We got a little bit of the dance and a little bit of fun.
