Summary

Coach RAC from the Savannah Bananas breaks down the wild world of Banana Ball – the no-bunting, steal-first-base, back-flip-catch, dance-routine version of baseball that’s taking the country by storm! He explains how the Bananas went from a small collegiate-like team to selling out NFL and MLB stadiums, reveals the craziest rules and celebrity cameos (yes, 50 Cent!), and shares his viral rise from getting cut by the Nationals to becoming one of the faces of the sport’s biggest new phenomenon. Hear about hitting a homer at Nationals Park, performing halftime shows with Broadway stars, learning dance routines before every game, touring nonstop, and the 10-foot pitcher on stilts dominating the league!
