Savannah Bananas owner on 60 minutes

‘Banana Ball’ is not just a game, it’s an inclusive entertainment experience for everyone, regardless of their age or interest in baseball. The creator of the Savannah Bananas, Jesse Cole, often dresses in a yellow suit and recently shared with CBS’s 60 Minutes that the entire game is designed to be inclusive for all types of fans.

‘The idea is to have something entertaining for everyone, like this 6-year-old leading a crowd warm-up, to appeal to all ages, baseball fans or not,’ Cole said.

In 2015, Cole and his wife founded the Savannah Bananas as a summer collegiate baseball team. They observed that fans, including families, stayed until the end of the games due to various incentives, including all-you-can-eat food. This fueled Cole’s dream of creating a faster and more exciting version of baseball, ensuring a family-friendly and enjoyable experience for all.
