"It's the greatest show in sports," said Brandon Crosby, a Bananas infielder and former Norfolk State player to News 3's Zach Staton.

The Bananas have been coined as the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball, as their games contain different variations of the sport.

In addition, the teams engage in dance routines through innings, performs family friendly stunts, and engage with fans throughout the day and game.
