What is 'Banana Ball?' Savannah Bananas' twist on baseball rules

Banana Ball is essentially baseball's quirky cousin and comparable to the Harlem Globetrotters, the entertaining traveling basketball team. The sporting event is also a spectacle of choreographed dances that go viral, crazy costumes, and tons of fan involvement. The game itself is nearly identical to regular baseball but with a few rule changes, such as playing on a two-hour time limit.

The game is scored with teams tallying points for innings won instead of runs scored. According to the Bananas' website, if you win the inning, you get the point. Other rules include prohibiting mound visits, as is bunting and stepping out of the batter's box between pitches.
