While the famous Savannah Bananas themselves won’t be in town for this particular series, two brand-new, equally entertaining teams from their newly formed Banana Ball Championship League (BBCL) are headed to Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park in North Charleston!
This is a massive development in the world of Banana Ball, a phenomenon that has captivated millions with its fast-paced rules, wild antics, and “Fans First” approach to baseball entertainment.
What’s Coming to Charleston?
Mark your calendars!
- Dates: April 10-11, 2026
- Location: Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park (The Joe), North Charleston
- Matchup: The Loco Beach Coconuts vs. The Indianapolis Clowns
These two teams are fresh additions to the Banana Ball universe, each bringing their own unique flair and a roster full of talented, charismatic players ready to deliver an unforgettable show.
Meet the Teams!
🤡 The Indianapolis Clowns: This team is a historically significant addition, reviving the name and honoring the legacy of the longest-playing Black professional baseball team from the legendary Negro Leagues. Expect a powerful performance and a nod to baseball history. Former MLB slugger Ryan Howard will be a “Primetime Coach” for the Clowns during the 2026 season!
🥥 The Loco Beach Coconuts: Get ready for tropical vibes and high-energy fun from this brand-new, beach-themed squad! Their laid-back, yet competitive style promises plenty of laughs and dazzling plays. Former MLB All-Star and World Series winner Shane Victorino (“The Flyin’ Hawaiian”) will be a “Primetime Coach” for the Coconuts!
What is Banana Ball? (For the Uninitiated!)
If you’ve never experienced Banana Ball, prepare for a baseball game unlike any other!
- Fast-Paced: Games are limited to two hours.
- Unique Rules: No bunting, no walks (a “walk” means you run to first after a foul tip caught by the catcher!), foul balls caught in the stands are outs, and batters can steal first.
- Entertainment First: Expect choreographed dances, ridiculous on-field antics, and a non-stop party atmosphere.
How to Get Tickets: The Lottery System
Just like the main Savannah Bananas games, tickets for the Banana Ball Championship League games are in incredibly high demand and are not sold through traditional box office methods.
- The Lottery: The only way to get tickets is to register for the official Banana Ball Ticket Lottery List on the Savannah Bananas website.
- Deadline: The lottery for the 2026 tour (which includes the Charleston dates) is open until October 31, 2025. Registering gives you a chance to purchase tickets, but it’s not a guarantee.
Don’t miss your opportunity to witness this revolutionary form of baseball entertainment when it rolls into North Charleston! Gather your friends and family, and get ready for a truly unique experience at The Joe!
