CLEVELAND, Ohio \u2013 Banana ball is back.<\/p>\n
The Savannah Bananas<\/a> \u2013 the fun-loving, twist-the-rules, modern-day clown princes of baseball – are returning to Cleveland to play a pair of games in 2026. The Bananas will play the Indianapolis Clowns at Progressive Field on Sept. 25-26. Times are to be determined.<\/p>\n Banana-ball rules are creative, to say the least: The team with the most runs in an inning gets a point, winning the inning \u2013 except for the final inning, when all runs count. If the hitter steps out of the box, it\u2019s a strike. No bunting is allowed, but batters can steal first on a passed ball or wild pitch. And in the effort of time constraints, no mound visits are permitted, and a two-hour time limit is in place. In what might be the most interactive rule in any sport, if a fan catches a foul ball, the batter is out.<\/p>\n A 2026 Banana Ball ticket lottery list is open until Friday, Oct. 31. Go to bananaball.com\/tickets<\/a>.<\/p>\n When the Bananas are playing in Cleveland, the Guardians will be in Kansas City for their final – and potentially pivotal – three games of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
