The Savannah Bananas aren’t your typical baseball team.
Their version of the game can most accurately be described as a Harlem Globetrotters take on baseball. They call it “Banana Ball” and it features all sorts of off-the-wall rules, like the ability to steal first base and tiebreaker called the ”showdown” in which the batter and pitcher square off with no other fielders on defense.
Banana Ball rule No. 8 is a doozy, and it made for a fun scene on Tuesday night. The rule states that if a fan catches a foul ball on the fly, it counts as an out. With two outs in the ninth inning of Tuesday’s game in Kannapolis, N.C., Dustin Baber ripped a line drive into foul territory past third base, where a fan was able to snag it with their glove.
