Savannah Bananas profiled on 60 Minutes

Savannah Bananas v The Party Animals NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 12: Noah Bridges #9 of the Savannah Bananas is introduced before the game against the Party Animals at Richmond County Bank Ball Park on August 12, 2023 in New York City. The Savannah Bananas were part of the Coastal Plain League, a summer collegiate league, for seven seasons. In 2022, the Bananas announced that they were leaving the Coastal Plain League to play Banana Ball year-round. Banana Ball was born out of the idea of making baseball more fast-paced, entertaining, and fun. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images) (Al Bello/Getty Images)
