Reply to comment by hubagruben in Victory! Minor League Baseball Players Are Finally Unionized. by theworkeragency

Look, I get the antics. It brings out people who would normally not enjoy a normal baseball game. The team used to strike that balance. They were in a league. While there are TONS of people who come out for the dancing and bat tricks. There were a loyal contingent of Savannahians who actually appreciated the fact that you could watch a normal baseball game in our hometown. I can’t tell you how many hours long rain delays my family and I sat through so we could watch the Bananas finish a game at 1:00AM. But with the withdrawal from the CPL and move to only play Banana Ball, the fans who were loyal to that team were kind of left out in the cold.

I feel for ya. If something local that I enjoyed suddenly changed to a different version of it that I didn’t enjoy, I’d be pissed too. I guess what would’ve been better is if Banana Ball would’ve been strictly tour-based, not a replacement of a traditional baseball team. Hopefully another traditional team comes Savannah’s way soon.
