On Saturday morning, fans had the opportunity to interact with players from the Savannah Bananas and Texas Tailgaters at a Dunkin\u2019 meet and greet. Following the morning meet and greet, fans participated in various game-day festivities at Aggie Park. <\/p>\n
Emmy Reed and her friend Kennedy traveled from Midland for the matchup and said she has supported the Bananas for years.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t even know it was going to be that big, and I\u2019m really excited to go because like I want to go on the big screen so like we can be famous,\u201d Reed said.<\/p>\n
This game marks the Texas Tailgaters\u2019 first time headlining a game. Pitcher Zachary Blankenship said the team brought the full tailgate experience to fans. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo we are going to be out front Texas A&M cooking and running a tailgate just like it would be on a football day, and it\u2019ll be a little country, a little less Broadway than the bananas, but it\u2019ll still be done up very large,\u201d Blankenship explained.<\/p>\n
While some people have been Banana Ball fans for a few years, others are just now joining the fandom. Ty White said he was looking forward to making memories at his first Savannah Bananas game. <\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t been to a baseball game since I was maybe like 13, it\u2019s been awhile so I\u2019m just hopefully kind of reliving a baseball memory,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n
Hollis Korenek said meeting the players is an experience she won\u2019t forget.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means a lot to me because I really want to meet some of the players because I haven\u2019t met a lot of like sports players in my lifetime and I\u2019m actually looking forward to meet all of them,\u201d Korenek said.<\/p>\n

The fun was not just on the field; Banana Ball players went into the stands to perform for fans up close. Whitney Moore has followed the Bananas for years and said seeing them in College Station meant everything.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means a lot — like it\u2019s been so much fun that they came here and then we got the chance to see them,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n
While some Banana fans traveled in from other cities, Juan and Xander Garza said the event was a memory made in their own backyard.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a special event. It\u2019s something that my son and I will remember for the rest of our lives, and it\u2019s a welcoming aspect to be able to showcase College Station and Kyle Field,\u201d Garza said.<\/p>\n
The Savannah Bananas will announce next year\u2019s touring locations on October 15th at their selection show. <\/p>\n
