BROCKTON, Mass. — Campanelli Stadium played host to the most sought-after ticket in baseball on Wednesday night.
No — not the Red Sox, Yankees, or any other club in MLB.
We’re talking about the Savannah Bananas — the exhibition baseball squad that is taking the sport by storm, selling out arenas across the U.S. and injecting new wrinkles into a century-old game.
The Bananas, who play their own fan-focused, entertainment-heavy brand of baseball called “Banana Ball,” primarily play their games at their field in Savannah, Grayson Stadium.
But throughout this year, the Bananas have embarked on a 33-city, 22-state “world tour,” with the team already completely selling out at all of their various stops.
