Banana Ball, the Savannah Bananas' popular brand of baseball, will return to Memphis in 2027, the organization announced Oct. 15.
The Party Animals and Indianapolis Clowns will play April 2-3 at AutoZone Park, home of the Memphis Redbirds.
Banana Ball ventured to the Bluff City in 2026, when the Party Animals and Clowns played in front of back-to-back sold-out crowds on March 7-8.
The Savannah Bananas themselves, the main attraction in the six-team Banana Ball Championship League, are not scheduled to play. Game times are to be determined. Tickets will be sold by the Bananas organization, and fans must enter the Bananas' lottery list by Oct. 31 on the team's website to have a chance to purchase tickets.
