This fast-paced and fan-centric version of baseball is designed to create an engaging and interactive experience for spectators.

The Bananas also incorporate exciting entertainment elements into their games, including dancing players and umpires, hilarious on-field promotions, trick plays, celebrity appearances, and lively music.
