Savannah Bananas Rain Delay Hits Yankee Stadium
24 Apr
Summary
- Savannah Bananas games at Yankee Stadium rescheduled due to rain.
- Saturday's game moved to Friday, while Sunday's game remains.
- Exhibition games feature unique Banana Ball with entertaining players.
The Savannah Bananas are set to play two sold-out games at Yankee Stadium this weekend, but inclement weather has necessitated a schedule change for Saturday's event. Due to rain forecasts, the Saturday game has been moved to Friday at 7:30 p.m., and tickets for the original date will be honored. The second game is still slated for Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.
The exhibition team, based in Savannah, Georgia, will compete against the Party Animals in their distinctive version of baseball, dubbed Banana Ball. This format is celebrated as "the greatest show in sports," characterized by players spontaneously breaking into song and dance, and often featuring viral social media moments. The team even includes unique performers, such as a 10-foot-tall stilts walker serving as both hitter and pitcher.
Fans looking to attend will find tickets starting at $35, though they were initially sold through a lottery system months ago. Currently, tickets are available via third-party resellers, with prices exceeding $99. For those unable to attend in person, both games will be streamable: Friday's match on YouTube, the ESPN App, and Disney+, and Sunday's game on YouTube and the Roku Sports Channel. The article also provides detailed information on transportation and dining options at the stadium.
