Walk of Fame

The Savannah Bananas asked fans to vote for their favorite 6 players that played at Grayson Stadium.  Years ago, major league teams left spring training and traveled to Savannah and would play a game before leaving town. Yesterday at the Fan Fest, the 6 players selected had their picture and bio information hanging on the walls of the concourse. The players selected by the fans: Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Hank Arron, Dale Murphy, Lou Gehrig, and John Smoltz.

Fan Fest

The Savannah Bananas held a Fan Fest this afternoon at Grayson Stadium. Fans were able to meet the players and get autographs. Free food was available for everyone. It was nice to see lots of young people in attendance. As the fans entered the stadium, players were getting ready to take batting practice and fans in the stands saw several baseballs clear the fence. The first Savannah Bananas home game is this Thursday at 7:00 pm against the Lexington County.

Head Coach Sean West

In August of 2013, Coach West was named the assistant coach for the University of Texas Dallas baseball program and serves as the recruiting coordinator for the Comets. West will serve as the head coach for the Savannah Bananas 2016 baseball team. I am happy to announce Coach West will be a writer for the Savannah Bananas blog site:savannahbananas2016@blogspot.com. Look forward to reading his articles this summer.
