caulfield12 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 (edited) https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/why-the-savannah-bananas--not-the-dallas-cowboys--are-americas-team-115432172.html Unfortunately JR and our own Greg775 might never read or experience this despite constant riffs and refrains on the same subject of what's wrong with modern baseball and what's the antidote? Lots of talk about runaway concessions prices (free food included at home park in Georgia for $35 tickets with precisely timed two hours games) comparatively across the four major sports. And there's former legendary Sox player Matt Skole as well.

wegner Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Saw them last year in Iowa and I will be at the Friday game at Sox park next month. It is just a fun time but I am sure it is not for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I did try to get tickets from them at Sox park, and didn't even qualify for the lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox guy Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 There's still baseball on channel 62.2. But it's bananaball. It was faux baseball for kids, hardly appealing to us. Music plays during the whole game, tthey sing don't stop believing, which was cool. Talent level seem a-ball at best. It was meh. Commentator was annoying, a temu joey styles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only do one bit. I think we know why they’re calling it “America’s team”. I’m a Chicagoan thus I like homoerotic performances, it’s just like, come up with a new idea, bros 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to get some as a season ticket holders. They still have sky boxes if you want to spend that.😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was willing to purchase a full price box to the Bananas, I could get a Sox game 40% off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I like it and think baseball needs more stuff like this. Nobody complains that the Harlem Globetrotters aren't real basketball. Just get people out to an event and let them have fun while exposing the game to new audiences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 It says something that the Bananas could sell out Yankee Stadium a night or two. Think about that. All those people to see baseball's globetrotters. Insane. ... Their uniforms are glorious. Do they charge for parking? They really don't need to to make a zillion dollars. Modern sports cost too much money period. Can you imagine if the secondary market did not exist and fans had to pay what it says on the ticket the past few seasons on the south side?
