"Banana Ball" will make its Boston debut on June 8, 2024.
Savannah Bananas coming to Fenway Park in 2024: One of the most unique and entertaining baseball teams in the country will be visiting Fenway Park for the first time next summer.

Tickets for the game will be drawn lottery-style. Fans interested in getting tickets can sign up for the lottery list before Dec. 1 to be included in the draw (which the team says will be conducted “about 2 months before the event.”)
Banana Ball had a successful run in its game held in Brockton in August, part of the team’s 33-city tour in 2023. Both Johnny Damon and Doug Flutie made cameos in between the regular over-the-top proceedings (which regularly include choreographed dancing, singing, and circus-like feats of baseball skill.
