the bananas are where???

They're on AARP now, in the Sports Trivia game.

"You must be mistaken, dear."

Read it for yourself. "The Savannah Bananas play a variation of baseball called "Banana Ball." What is one way it differs from Major League Baseball?" 

"Holy leapin' lizards."

I know the correct answer, of course, as I live right here and have been to quite a few of those games since "Banana Ball" was created in Grayson Stadium. I wonder how many other people are aware that the second choice is the correct one?

"Well, they've had games shown on ESPN and their World Tours have played in quite a few cities since the pandemic. So, it could be that quite a few folks are expected to be familiar with them by now."

That's got to be the rationale for including this question. It was the puzzle bonus question, by the way, meaning the player would see it up to three times, unless they answered correctly the first time.

"That seems to be an old photo."

Well, that's true, if anything about Banana Ball can be called "old". It's only existed in its current form since about 2021 or so. But, yes, that shirt is not something that's been worn for a couple of years.

"The Coles must be elated!"

Oh, for sure. Good for them! Of course, it means they can never leave Savannah. This city is linked to the Bananas for the long haul. Good for us, too!
