Savannah Bananas Bring Unique Baseball Show to Seattle This Weekend

SEATTLE, Wash. — The Savannah Bananas, a touring baseball team famous for their unique and theatrical style of play known as “Banana Ball,” will perform at T-Mobile Park on Friday, Sept. 19, and Saturday, Sept. 20. Both games are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Since their founding in 2016 in Savannah, Georgia, by Jesse and Emily Cole, the Bananas have captivated audiences nationwide. Their games feature choreographed player routines, fan interaction, and unconventional rules aimed at enhancing speed and entertainment. The roster includes former college and minor league players, with occasional appearances by ex-major leaguers. A highlight of the event is Dakota “Stilts” Albritton, who performs on stilts.

Fans attending the games should prepare for steep parking fees. Prepaid parking in the Mariners Garage, located directly across from the stadium, is listed at $93.35. Parking typically opens three hours before the game and is in effect until the event concludes, but overnight parking is not allowed. Accessible ADA spaces will be available, and attendants will staff the garage.

The Bananas’ Seattle performances are part of an expanded national tour that includes other teams, such as the Party Animals and Firefighters, all taking part in exhibitions of Banana Ball.
