The Savannah Bananas are coming to T-Mobile Park in Seattle this weekend, but the Mariners gave any fans watching their road win over the Royals a preview of what's to come with one magnificent play in the ninth inning of the 12-5 triumph over Kansas City.
On the second pitch of the inning, Mariners righthander Emerson Hancock got Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia to ground a ball up the middle, where shortstop J.P. Crawford made a diving stop. But, in a nifty trick play straight out of the Bananas playbook, Crawford, rather than jump to his feet and make the throw to first, decided to flip the ball to second baseman Jorge Polanco.
