Can't get a ticket? Meet Savannah Bananas players Saturday at Dunkin'

Savannah Bananas fans will have a chance to meet players off the field this weekend as the team partners with Dunkin’ for a special fan event in Savannah.

On Saturday, Aug. 1, players from the Savannah Bananas and The Firefighters will spend the morning serving customers, signing autographs and taking photos at a local Dunkin’ before heading to Grayson Stadium for the day’s Banana Ball festivities.

Here’s everything to know.

To plan your Savannah Bananas visit, go to Booking.com

The event is scheduled for 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 1, at the Dunkin’ located at 4333 Ogeechee Road in Savannah.

During the event, Bananas and Firefighters players will trade their uniforms for aprons as they help serve guests, work the drive-thru and interact with fans.

Guests who stop by during the two-hour event will have the opportunity to:

• Meet Savannah Bananas and Firefighters players
• Take photos with players
• Get autographs
• Receive Dunkin’ x Banana Ball merchandise giveaways while supplies last
• Pick up a $5 Dunkin’ promotional gift card, while supplies last

The event is open to fans of all ages.

The Bananas and Firefighters play Friday at 7 p.m. at Grayson Stadium. The game is sold out but will be televised on TruTV. The teams play again Saturday night at 7 and can be seen on the Bananas YouTube channel.

The Bananas will be at Target Field in Minnesota next weekend to face the Loco Beach Coconuts.

The appearance follows Dunkin’s National Drive-Thru Day celebration last week, when the company surprised guests by giving away 25 tickets to the Savannah Bananas’ weekend series.

The latest event is designed to give fans another opportunity to experience Banana Ball, especially those who were unable to get tickets to the team’s sold-out games.

The Savannah Bananas have become one of baseball’s most recognizable entertainment teams, drawing sold-out crowds with their fast-paced version of baseball known as Banana Ball.

The team combines baseball with choreographed dances, fan participation and other on-field entertainment, attracting fans from across Georgia and the country.

For those planning to attend Saturday’s games at Grayson Stadium, the Dunkin’ appearance offers an opportunity to meet players before they take the field later that day.
