In a sport that has lots of statistics, apparently people have been raising concerns about the performance of the baseball. But this is nothing new in this game, just the latest controversy about the ball. The minute details of the materials and construction of the baseball that are blamed for changes in its behavior make it seem an impossible ask to expect there to be no changes over time.
If you are a fan of Baseball but thought it should be much more appealing to fans. Boy howdy have I got the team for you. The Savannah Bananas is a minor league team that turns your traditional baseball game into an event you can not take your eyes off of. This is NOT for the die hard baseball fan, but those who want to see a baseball game with the sole purpose of entertaining the fans.
Banana Ball Rules:
I’m almost certain we talked about this on the show at some point.
It has been discussed on this forum a number of times already for sure. I’m guessing in the “Fix a Sport” thread.
Ah I did not catch that, my bad I just found out about them
It’s still a really cool thing. The world could use a lot more games, of all varieties, that are specifically constructed to prioritize the spectator above all other parties involved.
Years ago, possibly on old forum I linked a like, maybe minor leagues or college game where a coach went nuts and threw a bunch of bats onto the field or something. Well the As and the Mariners went to a fight and a baseball game broke out.
Jomboy has been doing some really good stuff, particularly recently.
Hawaii won the LLWS. Holy cow this team was nuts.
When the Seattle Mariners made the playoffs for the first time in over 20 years earlier this week, it bequeathed onto the Phillies the Longest playoff drought in the majors. This status lasted all of three days.
If you are curious, the longest drought now belongs to the Angels and Tigers at 8 seasons each (Phillies was 11).
62, the most home runs ever hit in a season.
Only the most ever for an American League Player.
Or the most ever for a (supposedly) non-steroid player.
Not the most ever ever.
I know what I said. 
Do you believe Aaron Judge is 100% clean?
Maybe we’ll find evidence in a few years and it goes back to 61!
But the testing regime is a lot stronger today than 20 years ago.
Don’t those steroid era records still stand?
Personally I’m just happy that people are happy about a new legend-level hitter making waves.
They do, but there’s long been arguments back and forth if they should be expunged, or at least noted in some way when they belong to people who were caught.
