Sure, August marks the beginning of the NFL season, the US Open and NCAA sports, but let's not forget that we're also headed into the dog days of Banana Ball season. The Savannah Bananas have become a cult phenomenon, selling out nearly every major baseball stadium they've played in this year, including Fenway Park, Nationals Park and Camden Yards this summer. If you've only just caught on to the sport that features line-dancing, costumes and only a vague similarity to baseball, the bad news is that every upcoming Banana Ball game for the rest of the 2025 season is now sold out.
The good news? You can watch them live on TV. The Banana Ball league is headlined by the Savannah Bananas, but there are three other teams that also play alongside them: the Firefighters, the Texas Tailgaters and the Party Animals.
This weekend, the Savannah Bananas and the Texas Tailgaters are playing at PNC Park, and you can catch all the action on both nights without needing a cable subscription.
