Imagine you’re about to walk into a baseball stadium in Savannah, GA. The weather is perfect for a game.
As you enter, several things strike you immediately – this is NOT what you were expecting. It’s way better.
The music is wild, the players are doing a coordinated dance on the field, the 1st baseman is on stilts, and the umpire looks to be twerking behind home plate.
Your friend who invited you says, “this isn’t baseball; this is banana ball.”
“What the heck is banana ball?” You wonder.
But before you can finish that thought, a guy with a yellow tux and a mic pops out of nowhere, giving high-fives to every fan he can reach.
“That’s the owner,” Your buddy says—”he’s the guy responsible for the greatest show in sports.”
