The Savannah Bananas continue their barnstorming world tour this weekend at the Happiest Place on Earth as they are in Anaheim, California, for a two-game series with the Indianapolis Clowns. As usual, the team wasn’t just there for sport, they displayed their showmanship at Disneyland before it was time for the first pitch.<\/p>\n
Dubbed ‘Savannah Bananas Day at Disneyland’, the event was packed with entertainment. As the Disneyland Resort itself said in an online post<\/a>, it included “the viral baseball team performing high-energy dances, a cavalcade down Main Street U.S.A., and special appearances in both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. The event included specialized banana-themed treats, merchandise, and a player meet-and-greet.”<\/p>\n The #SavannahBananas<\/a> and Indianapolis Clowns will be the stars of Disneyland when they visit Anaheim, California, at the end of this month#BananaBall<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/Tp9GzuFpNF<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ryan K Boman (@RyanKBoman) March 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Among the stars on-hand was Broadway actor Derek Klena, who joined the Savannah Bananas<\/a> for the 2026 season as an entertainment player and pitcher.
