WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The Savannah Bananas are bringing their SOLD OUT "World Famous Baseball Circus" to Sutter Health Park this Saturday, July 29th.
Affectionately referred to as 'The Greatest Show in Sports" by ESPN with an atmosphere that would make most MLB teams jealous (Sports Illustrated), the Bananas have reimagined the baseball experience and the game itself.
"Taking the Bananas to Sacramento has been something we've heard constantly from our fans over the years," said Savannah Bananas Owner Jesse Cole. "We are fired up to bring an unforgettable show to them."
In addition to the cast of characters, dancers, performers, mascots, and musicians, the Bananas are bringing their own twist of baseball Sutter Health Park. Banana Ball is a fast-paced, action-packed style of baseball with rules that include no bunting, a two-hour time limit, fans catching foul balls for outs, batters stealing first base, and a one-on-one tiebreaker showdown at the end of the game if it's tied.
"We are thrilled to be able to offer the Sacramento community the opportunity to capture the energy and excitement of the Savannah Bananas right here at Sutter Health Park," said Vice President of Facilities and Events for the Sacramento River Cats Brittney Nizuk. "This will surely be one of those moments we're able to create treasured memories at the ballpark."

Led by Bananas captains Bill LeRoy and Kyle Luigs, there will be plenty of familiar faces on both teams' rosters. They are also known as TikTok's favorite team with over 3 million followers, millions more than every MLB team. The Bananas have been featured across the globe for everything-from playing a game in kilts, using a dancing first base coach, the Banana Nanas Dance Team, the first ever baseball player to wear stilts, a Banana Pep Band, breakdancing players, and a whole lot more.
