This former Red Sox star robbed a Savannah Bananas homer at GABP

Former Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. made a spectacular catch for the Indianapolis Clowns to rob a home run while crashing into the outfield fence during a game against the Savannah Bananas at Great American Ball Park.

According to @bananaball via Instagram, Bradley became the second player in Banana Ball history to rob a home run.

Bradley played 11 MLB seasons, nine with the Red Sox. He was an All-Star in 2016, and won a Gold Glove in 2018. He also won a World Series with Boston in 2018, and was named American League Championship Series MVP during that postseason.

In 2015, Bradley was the first overall pick of the Clowns in the inaugural Banana Ball player draft.

The Clowns played a three-game series at GABP against the Bananas. During the 1943 season, the Cincinnati Clowns were based at Crosley Field.

Former Cincinnati Reds teammates and Reds Hall of Famers Adam Dunn and Aaron Harang made appearances for the Bananas June 20 against the Clowns at GABP

During the first game of the series, Bengals receiver Tee Higgins entered the game as a pinch runner for the Bananas, and received a standing ovation and loud “Teeeeeee!” chant from the GABP crowd. When Higgins scored a run, he did teammate Dexter Lawrence‘s signature “Sexy Dexy” dance.

In June 2025, Reds Hall of Famer Sean Casey tore his hamstring while running the bases during a Bananas’ game at GABP.
