“The Greatest Show in Sports” is coming to Sacramento.
The Savannah Bananas and their “World Famous Baseball Circus” are taking their game across the country next year, with a stop in Sacramento to take on the River Cats on July 29. at Sutter Health Park.
This team is bananas. Literally. Not only are there characters and dancing, but they have their own rules, too. According to a press release from the team, 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.”

“The response has been absolutely Bananas for this world tour,” Savannah Bananas owner Jesse Cole said in a press release. “Everywhere we go we hear from fans begging us to come to their city. We are so grateful for their support and because of their passion for the Bananas and Banana Ball we knew we had to extend the tour dramatically in 2023. Now we are bringing the show to almost four times the number of cities as we did in 2022 to make sure we are able to connect with as many Bananas fans as possible.”
Along with a stop in Sacramento, fans can catch the Bananas in San Jose and Fresno.
Tickets will be available at a later time.
