Owner @Savannah Bananas

The Savannah Bananas were launched on February 25, 2016. Immediately, the team received national recognition. Trending on Twitter, shoutouts on Sportscenter, Buzzfeed, and Yahoo all came within the first 24 hours. Bananas merchandise sold to all 50 states. In the first year the Bananas broke the stadium attendance record as 18 of the 25 games sold out. The team, led by Head Coach Sean West took the league by storm and won the Coastal Plain League Championship. Other awards would follow such as Organization of the Year, Executives of the Year and Sports Event of the Year. In the second season, the Bananas sold out every single game and now have a streak of 32 straight sell outs! MSNBC ran a national feature story on the team and the Bananas hip hop dancing first base coach has been featured on ESPN and CNN. The Bananas now have a waitlist for tickets in the thousands and have created unprecedented demand for tickets, never before seen at the minor league level. The Bananas mission is Fans First. Entertain Always. We believe we can change the world of Sports and Entertainment by having fun and thinking differently.
