The Savannah Bananas are generating thousands of fans for their untraditional baseball games that combine sports and entertainment.
"We're just trying to be the most fun team in baseball and try to create the greatest show in sports," said the team's founder Jesse Cole.
"My wife and I had to sell our house, empty out our savings account," he said."We were sleeping on an air bed just seven years ago, and then we were like, 'All right, we're just going to create a great experience,' and then just start capturing it and showing it to the people. The idea has been a hit. The team sells out every single game. There's also a waitlist of 500,000 people hoping to get a ticket.
