"The Savannah Bananas are a wacky baseball team, playing something called Banana Ball. Players dress in funny costumes, step into ridiculously tall stilts, perform dance routines and do all kinds of things that could frustrate traditional baseball fans but tend to delight those looking for a unique night out."
"Savannah Bananas games have become massive events. They've been traveling around the country the past few years doing exhibition matches, but the team's success led to the creation of the Banana Ball Championship League and the Banana Ball World Tour."
"Roku has published a calendar of streamed matches, but it doesn't include the actual championship game. This inaugural Banana Bowl is scheduled for October 10."
"The company also says it's working on some kind of 'interactive platform' for Banana Ball fans. The matches have a lot of audience participation, so this could be some kind of riff on that."
Roku has signed a deal to stream free content from the Banana Ball Championship League, featuring the Savannah Bananas. The Savannah Bananas are known for their entertaining style of play, often compared to the Harlem Globetrotters. They have created a unique experience with their games, leading to the formation of the Banana Ball Championship League and World Tour. The first match will be on April 26 against the Party Animals. Roku is also developing an interactive platform for fans and will provide more details later.
