    Found these rules while surfing

    The Bananas have implemented a number of deviations from standard baseball rules, in use since June 2020 at home exhibition games.[10] Branded as "Banana Ball", these include a two-hour time limit on games, no bunting, batters are not allowed to step out of the batters box, no mound visits are allowed, walks are now called sprints, and foul balls caught by fans are counted as outs

    A good friend of mine at church told me about this at lunch after services this past Sunday.

    That is about stupid, especially the foul part. That will cause a major fight eventually.

    It's entertainment, like the Harlem Globetrotters.

    Yeah, the walk becoming a sprint sounds like fun. The defense has to throw the ball to every player before the ball is active again. The first walk, er sprint, resulted in a homer. Now, they are efficient enough to throw (most?) sprinters out at second.

    Opening day 2023 - $25 & includes all you can eat concessions.

    Was going to catch a game last year, but tickets were hard to come by.

    Yeah, I’m not sure how dated the reference, but he said their mayor is on the waiting list. :eek:
