Banana Ball League owner Jesse Cole’s vision and every single American sports fan on any level should thank him for his dedication

The Savannah Bananas, the unconventional baseball team that has become a nationwide phenomenon and some call the "Harlem Globetrotters of baseball," are playing two games in Chicago this weekend.

The Savannah Bananas, famed for their quirky game rules and massive crowds, are taking on the Firefighters at Rate Field Friday and Saturday this week. The two-day showdown at Rate Field marks their first-ever trip to the Windy City as they tour more than a dozen Major League Baseball stadiums, playing to sold-out crowds across the country.
