ADVENTURE SUMMARY
Simply A Fan and Baseball Bucket List are collaborating on this historic occasion as the Savannah Bananas will be playing their first game at a Major League Baseball ballpark! We are working in tandem in the organization and planning for this adventure. We are selling more than just a ticket – we are providing you an experience that goes beyond the playing field!
In June 2023 the Bananas visited Nashville, hometown of Simply A Fan, and we had a massive turnout of 436 fans spread throughout First Horizon Park. Here is a link where you can read about that adventure: Potassium Level 436.
For this game in the Bayou City, we have secured a limited number of tickets, reserved a hotel block, secured ground transportation and are providing Baseball Bucket List and Simply A Fan items along with Savannah Bananas swag!

Who Are The Savannah Bananas
That is a great question! In recent years the Savannah Bananas have become a world-wide sensation known for their unique and entertaining style of play called Banana Ball. Based out of Savannah, Georgia, Banana Ball is a fast-paced and fan-focused version of baseball that aims to create a fun and interactive experience for spectators.
The game features various rules, such as no bunting, no walks, and a time limit on innings, all which keeps the game moving quickly. Check out the rules of Banana Ball here! The Bananas also incorporate exciting entertainment elements into their games, including dancing players and umpires, hilarious on-field promotions, and lively music.
