The Bananas, who originated from Savannah, Georgia, initially were a College Summer Baseball team from their founding in 2016 until 2022. However, they have since become an exhibition team as they use their alternative and uniquely fun “banana ball” rules. The rules include a foul ball being “out” when a fan catches it and no bunting. The players on the Bananas dress in all yellow uniforms and even the owner Jesse Cole wears a yellow suit. To add to all the fun, the Bananas regularly have dances, celebrations, and music videos like performing to the Backstreet Boys and doing the Napoleon Dynamite dance.

They have become notably popular thanks to their fun approach, accumulating over 7.6 million followers on Tik Tok. They have gained so many followers that they have more than any actual MLB team.
