MESA, Ariz. — Savannah Bananas are planning to play their wacky version of baseball in the Valley early next year.
A 2024 world tour schedule recently released by the Bananas shows the team making a stop at the Peoria Sports Complex during the weekend of Feb. 15-17. The team will then play at Mesa's Sloan Park during the weekend of April 25-27.
The Bananas have attracted a major following on social media since making their baseball debut in 2016. Players are known for performing zany, outlandish stunts on the field that include singing karaoke and dancing to NSYNC songs.
The team plays what it has dubbed "Banana Ball," which adjusts some of the rules of traditional baseball and sets a strict two-hour limit on all games.
More information about getting tickets for upcoming Banana games can be found here.
