Savannah Bananas Star Defies Baseball’s Catching Norm With an Insane Backflip That Goes Viral Instantly

While gimmicks may be risky, they’re incredibly fun to watch. Eye-popping attractions that overwhelm the senses in a good way are unforgettable. It’s like reading a good book – one may forget the characters, one may forget the plot, but what will definitely be remembered are the vibes. And the Savannah Bananas have perfected the art of giving a good show without involving anything bombastic, all while playing good ol’ baseball.

The exhibition baseball team has taken over the baseball world with its fun twist on the national pastime. With a game that is losing followers at a rather alarming rate, founder Jesse Cole is trying to revive interest in baseball. But he has a different strategy than most – fans always come first. And this newest maneuver has people talking.

David Ray does a flip in the middle of a Savannah Bananas game

From dancing to backflipping, nothing is off-limits. The Bananas can do it all and they’re not afraid to show off. At a recent game at Grayson Stadium, David Ray was in the outfield. As soon as the batter hit the ball, players flocked around but only Ray had the privilege to catch it. But get this, he didn’t just throw out his mitted hands as any regular player would do.

No, that would be boring and then it wouldn’t be the Savannah Bananas. Ray did a backflip mid-catch and executed everything perfectly! The commentator yelled and the crowds roared because of course no one was expecting it. Call it risky if you will but it certainly made for an intriguing game.

The Bananas are revolutionizing baseball for the better

It’s no secret that America’s favorite pastime may not remain the favorite for long. It’s not just a curiosity towards other sports or different industries but baseball itself. From lengthy seasons to long innings, people are starting to lose interest. Jesse Cole experienced this himself and couldn’t believe he was forcing himself to watch a game. And thus was born the idea of the Bananas.
