Savannah Bananas are the best show in baseball: How it works

Posted by Reinaldo Massengill on Friday, August 2, 2024

TRENTON, N.J. — The show has already started. 

Some fans have been outside Trenton Thunder Ballpark since the morning, standing in the blazing sun. Eating hot dogs. Sipping beers. Buying merchandise. Playing catch. 

It is 2 p.m. on Wednesday, and the Savannah Bananas will throw their first pitch in five hours. 

Thousands in South Jersey are adorned in the yellow gear — shirts, hats, gloves, foam fingers, the works — of the social media phenomenon that has been embraced like a favorite band; in town for one night only.
