    Savannah Bananas

    We first arrived in Savannah in October of 2015 with a goal to make baseball fun and bring back fans to Historic Grayson Stadium.

    For the first time, minor league baseball had left the city, after calling Savannah home for 90 years. Now because of this, we realized that getting... fans excited for a college summer team was harder than we could have ever imagined.

    In our first few months, we only sold a handful of tickets. By January of 2016, just months before our first game, the team had over-drafted our account. Owners, Jesse and Emily Cole were forced to sell their home to keep the team going.

    Then everything changed on February 25, 2016, when we named the team the Savannah Bananas.

    This announcement created massive attention locally and nationally, being covered by CBS, NBC, and Sports Illustrated, even being featured as SportsCenters’s Logo of the Year.

    But the name was not liked or appreciated by most people in Savannah. We heard comments like whoever came up with the team should be fired. The owner should be thrown out of town. “You’ll never sell a ticket”. We even did a mean tweet video a year later to share some of the “love” we received.

    But even with mixed reviews we were finally on the map and people knew who we were.

    With all the attention, we were able to sell out Opening Night. Our fans were met with a completely unique experience featuring all-inclusive food, our senior citizen dance team, the first Banana Baby, and dancing players.

    Since the first season, we’ve sold out every single game – over 200 and counting
