His Jersey say he is on the Party Animals team.

The batter is out if a fan catches their foul ball at their games which is awesome

I like the walk rule. If a batter gets walked, they can just keep going until everyone on the field touches the ball, at which point it's a live ball and they could be put out.

One of the stats they keep for pitchers is minutes per inning. They want a fast pace of play with a lot of action.

Watched some of the Bananas reels recently, really want to go to a game, looks like a great time.

The website says they are on a World Tour right now, is it just a traveling show where they play the Party Animals each game and then later in the year transition to playing actual league games?


So basically the baseball version of the Globetrotters.

Not gonna lie that sounds like a great time.

I’ve had the pleasure of attending a few games there. It’s a good time for sure. Like something out of Bull Durham.
