AUBURN — The Banana Ball All-Stars will face Auburn baseball in an exhibition game on October 25. The all-star team will be a collection of the best of all four Banana Ball teams.

The game will be at 7 pm CT. Tickets will be available at a later date.

The seating arrangement at Plainsman Park is expected to be similar to the Super Regional setup this past season. There were 7,434 fans in attendance for the Friday night game against Stetson.

The Banana Ball All-Stars is a special team composed of players from various Savannah Bananas squads. The league includes the Party Animals, Firefighters, and Tailgaters. The all-star team was formed for specific exhibition games, including the 2024 Banana Ball All-Star Game against the Clemson Tigers. 

These players are selected by fans to participate in special events showcasing the exciting and entertaining style of Banana Ball. The league includes unique rule changes like a two-hour time limit, dancing umpires, and a focus on trick plays.

The Savannah Bananas have played various games inside other SEC ballparks. This, however, will be only the second matchup between the Banana Ball All-Stars and an SEC team.

The Savannah Bananas are an exhibition baseball team from Savannah, Georgia. They are known for playing “Banana Ball”—a fast-paced, fan-focused spin on the sport. Their games mix competitive play with dance routines, comedy, and showmanship, drawing frequent comparisons to the Harlem Globetrotters. The team features former minor leaguers, college players, and occasional MLB guests across four rotating rosters.

The team is built around full-on entertainment, blending dancing players, quirky promotions, and constant fan interaction into a viral sensation. Today, the Bananas have grown into a multi-million-dollar brand, fueled by their fast-paced “Banana Ball” format and a devoted fan base known as the “Bananatics.”

After nearly a decade, the Bananas have become a multimillion-dollar franchise. The team rakes in more than $10 million annually from ticket sales, according to the Spartanburg Herald-Journal.
