I don’t remember any of them messing up that night, but with everything going on they might have.

I got tickets for August 29th at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, whole family is super excited

Big35Hurt · 07-24-2025, 07:13 PM

Haven't seen them in person but their videos pop up here and there on Facebook. Looks like it would be a lot of fun.

I'll be in the right field bleachers for one of the upcoming Yankee Stadium games. Had tickets last year for... Buffalo, I want to say? But had to cancel for work. Definitely making it to the game this time.

JWBlue · 07-24-2025, 08:40 PM

Love how when the fan catches a foul ball the batter is out.

quackhead · 07-25-2025, 01:15 AM

Was thinking of going to one of the games at Petco, but not for $200 per. Maybe prices will go down closer to the game days. Maybe.

I had never heard of them till about a month ago when they came to Cincinnati. So I don't understand what the appeal is? Aren't they just a baseball version of the Globetrotters? Couple friends had tickets, they said it was a fun time though.

waiting for Fanatics to license Banana Ball cards...it's coming I'm sure

They have a deal with some company already to produce team sets. I can't remember who it is but we got a set when we went. I could see them doing a product with Leaf or somebody to have autos and relics included. Maybe a subset with autos of the surprise guest they have at each game from the local area.

The appeal is the entertainment they add to the game. It's a lot like the Globetrotters, but they had concerts and other stuff. I've been to both and had 10x more fun at the Bananas than I did at the Globetrotters. Even had the VIP experience package at the Globetrotters but felt like the Bananas was better.

discodanman45 · 07-25-2025, 12:37 PM

I went again this year at Anaheim stadium and it just wasn't the same experience as it was in a small stadium. I probably won't go again.

It's a drag show for straight people.

I'm sure that if Fanatics went to the company (probably Pro Choice) to license the cards, they would get it. The idea of the celeb/former players autos subset is cool and would fit perfectly in Topps Celebration since Big League and Opening Day are gone

glen87 · 07-25-2025, 02:04 PM

Choice makes their sets

With the Bananas (vs. the Globetrotters) also get the benefit of not knowing which team is going to win - they're actually competing.

Tastybrisket10 · 07-25-2025, 02:55 PM

It’s original I’ll give them that, but I would rather spend that kind of money for quality tickets to a real game.

Must be prime seats. Right? That can't be just to get in the stadium.

Crap seats at Anaheim were going for over $200. They sold out months in advance. If you didn't get in on the lottery, you will need to pay.

I’m part of the K Club. I pay $60 but I get guaranteed access to buying tickets. I went a few years ago in KC when it was at the American association ballpark after getting lucky in the drawing to buy tickets. Then I got invited to join the kclub. They didn’t come to KC last year. This year it was at The K. I had so much fun. They completed all the trick plays. The surprise banana ball guests were Hosmer, Moustakas, and Alex Gordon. The in between innings entertainment was so funny. I highly recommend going to a game if you can get tickets

PuddleMonkey · 07-27-2025, 02:16 AM

Looks like fun and my brother got tickets but it's a three hour drive each way so I passed. I'm too old and decrepit for that much car, I'm already near disabled from collecting so hard.

Yeah, like discodanman said, they are going for over $200 on stubhub. I may grab some tickets last minute.

The third basemen missed a few balls down the line trying to make a trick play the game we went to on Thursday.
