ANAHEIM, CA \u2014 Disneyland Resort went bananas Thursday, having an opening day of its own. The resort brought Banana Ball to Main Street with the Savannah Bananas and the Indianapolis Clowns, both signature and entertaining teams in a league of their own.<\/p>\n

The Savannah Bananas, fresh off their games at Petco Park this week, brought their signature energy for the one-day takeover of Disneyland Resort, right before battling the Indianapolis Clowns at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

Fans cheered on the Savannah Bananas as they traveled in a cavalcade down Main Street, U.S.A., and had the chance to meet some of their favorite players, including Southern California local Kelsie Whitmore, one of the few women who play Banana Ball. <\/p>\n

Disneyland welcomed the players who entertained park guests with show-stopping performances in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Park and at Pixar Pier in Disney California Adventure Park.<\/p>\n

The Clowns were originally the greatest barnstorming baseball team for over 50 years and one of the first barnstorming teams to travel the country, while helping to pave the way for Banana Ball by entertaining fans in a different way on a baseball field \u2013 read more on BananaBall.com<\/a> to find out more about the league\u2019s newest team!<\/p>\n
