RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. — The Savannah Bananas' California debut on Friday did not go as planned.
In some ways, it was almost poetic. The fact that the 4,000-seat, minor-league ballpark — the smallest stadium of the Bananas' 87-game, 33-city tour — did not have the bandwidth to handle the bonanza reflected just how far the Savannah Bananas have come.
LeRoy, on the other hand, was skeptical. After months of being asked, “what in the world are you doing?” upon revealing his summer plans, the Dublin, Georgia, native recalled arriving in Savannah with “no expectations.” Gillum, who previously coached in more prestigious summer leagues such as the Cape Cod League, also opted to join the Bananas in 2018. After he set a lifetime goal to “have a positive impact on 1,000,000 people through baseball education and exercise,” the opportunity in Savannah was a perfect fit.“I have the platform I’ve always wanted to [be able to] impact the younger generation,” Luigs said. “And I can do it all while having fun.
Others were relentlessly recruited by Cole, who has a knack for recognizing those with the ability to mix baseball with Broadway. “These kids are committed. They’re entertaining. They’re doing the right thing for baseball,” Lee said. “They’re bringing it back to the fans.”
