Savannah Bananas

[Dcuse]

I went to watch Jacob DeGrom pitch with Alvarez behind the plate and Salvador Perez on the opponent last year and….it didn’t look like that.

I never even heard of the Savananah Bananas until this week.

I have to say, I don’t get it. Even as a kid, I didn’t care about the Harlem Globetrotters. Would’ve much rather watched a real b-ball game of any form - it could’ve been a high school JV game and that would’ve intrigued me far more than a fool around fake game.

Good for you.

Good for you.

THANKS DCUSE

how were the concession lines and the people dealing with General admission? I guess parking too?

Terrible
Not ideal
Parking was fine lol

It’s an event that as an adult, i can live with eating prior or after but with families it’s tough. My sister and her husband missed a solid 30 minutes waiting in lines

There’s room for improvement for the hosting city but the bananas sit on a gold mine

How have I not heard of this til now. Looks like it would be a blast to go to.

Oh yeah, the Bananas are a hot ticket.

I am not optimistic the Bananas will return to Syracuse again.

Agree. Looks like they are popular enough to fill MLB and NFL stadiums now.

It’s funny, I actually discipled one of the Savannah Banana active roster players when he was a JUCO baseball player. Small world!

oh, so you meant disciplined...like a ruler on the knuckles ?

Haha no, I mean discipled, as in the greek "mathētēs" which means to a be a "learner." Jesus's disciples were learners of his; they traveled with him, ate where he ate, slept where he slept, fellowshipped together, watched when spoke & healed, saw him model relationship with God the Father, participated in mission with him, witnessed his death & resurrection as Savior, & etc.

 

[tbonezone]

a "machete" to the knuckles seems a rather bit more draconian than the ruler .
"culpae poena par esto".
