The Bananas played seven seasons in the Coastal Plain League's West division until 2022 and won three Petitt Cup championships.
However, due to their incredible growth, Savannah has transitioned entirely to playing exhibition games against their partner touring team. This year, their season began on Feb. 17 in West Palm Beach, Florida and will end on Sept. 16 in Cooperstown, New York.
The team will be touring a total of 32 cities outside Savannah this season. They've already visited Jacksonville, Sugar Land, Montgomery, Scottsdale, Peoria, Charleston, Tampa Bay, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Nashville.
