The Bronx is burning banana-ing.
On April 25-26, the Savannah Bananas are swinging into Yankee Stadium for a pair of a-peel-ing games against their rivals, the Party Animals.
And if you’d like to be there, last-minute tickets are available for both games at the House that Jeter Built.
Better yet, they’re reasonably priced considering how much Bananas seats typically retail for.
Based on our findings, the lowest price we could find on tickets for this weekend’s Banana Ball Bronx battles was $91 including fees on StubHub at the time of publication.
100-level seats start at $135 including fees.
As fans may recall, this will be the potassium-friendly club’s second visit to the Big Apple; they previously dropped into Aaron Judge’s home last September.
Per usual, the unconventional club delivered an unforgettable, one-of-a-king experience tailored specifically to hometown fans at those late summer contests.
Just a few of the most notable highlights included their signature choreographed dances, a singalong with “Hamilton” star Miguel Cervantes and appearances by former Yankee Nick Swisher, former World Series-winning Yankees manager Joe Torre and Super Bowl-winning Giants quarterback Eli Manning, who cosplayed as an umpire.
Yes, really.
That’s not to mention the players on stilts, kooky rules (if a fan catches a foul ball, that’s an out!), catchers on bean bag chairs, elaborate walk-ups to the batter’s box and strict two-hour time limit to ensure the game doesn’t go too long.
“It might not look like anything you’ve seen in a baseball game, but it shouldn’t; this is Banana Ball,” Bananas/Firefighters player Noah Bridges told Yankees beat writer Jon Schwartz.
“…I feel pretty confident that we…gave [fans] more than enough to make it one of the most memorable days they’ll ever have at a ballpark.”

About the Savannah Bananas
After forming in 2016, the “exhibition barnstorming baseball team” made a name for themselves by embracing “exhibition” and “barnstorming” while halfway ditching “baseball.”
The team now plays Banana Ball which has quirky rules like fan-caught foul balls counting as outs, games not being allowed to exceed two hours in length and batters stealing first base.
Yet, still, that’s barely scratching the surface of the innovative game’s showmanship.
Simply put, we recommend following Savannah’s Instagram to see what hijinx the entertaining team is up to. Be warned though- their clips are so fun you just might end up scrolling for hours.
Savannah Party Animals
The Bananas aren’t the only attraction at Banana Ball games.
Their opponents, the Savannah Party Animals, also bring fun and skill to the field.
“I think there are some guys that are obvious fits for the Bananas, and some guys that are obvious fits for the Party Animals,” coach Nate Fish told Savannah Now following team tryouts.
“We need the games to be really competitive. We can’t load up one team. It’s not like the (Harlem) Globetrotters and the (Washington Generals). The games aren’t scripted. The games are highly competitive. Anyone can win. We have to take a look at balance to do that.”
