Dont plan on Season Ticket Holders getting priority. All of that will go to Bananas K Club Members. Season Ticket holders may get early access before the general public?

Mostly former college and minor league guys. They have legit talent.

Johnny Damon plays for them sometimes

Also, I've been to one of the games and it's an awesome time and atmosphere. Drink some beer and have some laughs with the family. If a fan catches a foul ball, the batter is out

Very Common to have former MLB Players make an appearance when they are playing in the areas where those guys may be from or have played. Dont be surprised to see some former Tiger Legends make an appearance.

This shite is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. There is no baseball played. Last time I watched, with a 2 hour time limit, they got 1 inning in. It was all just stupid choreographed dances and gayness. Dont know how anyone watches it.

check out the video of the fan catching the 3rd out, winning the game, and the team having him come onto the field and celebrating with the kid like he just won the world series

They were a legit team from 2016 to 2022 in a legit league. Only in the last year have they completely changed to the Globetrotter business model.

From TikTok it just looks like baseball players performing lipsynched dance routines. Even the umpire gets in on it. The first basemen playing on 10 foot stilts was certainly crazy to comprehend.

A bunch of good looking college baseball players dancing sounds like a girls night out. And they’ve evidently found enough fans as most of their tour is sold out.

Not sure. All I know is you have to enter into a lottery for a chance to buy tickets so qouldnt surprise me if there is no early access

They definitely have enough fans. Sp much so that you have to enter into a lottery for a chance at buying tickets. Entered myself last night for Baton Rouge.

The lottery will happen 2 months before the show dates.

This a straight up LIE. The fewest innings I have ever seen them get in in the 2 hours was 7. Remember they do not always do a full 3 outs. In Banana ball you can walk off an inning as the games are scored by points not runs until the last inning. Meaning if team in Top does not score the team in the bottom walks off the inning with any run scored and they move to the next inning. Also no time outs, stepping out of the box, and any ball caught by a fan counts as an out. All things that speed up the games.

Tickets will go to K-Club Members first then all others will be via their lottery system. All tickets will be sold through the Bananas and not LSU.

Weird, they made it through several innings when I saw them and kept score.

They also had the shortstop run and jump off the back of the crouched pitcher who launched him into the air by standing up and the shortstop threw a perfect strike to the batter from about 12 feet in the air

Kind of awesome
