Banana Ball by Jesse Cole
BANANA BALL by Jesse Cole is the “The Unbelievably True Story of the Savannah Bananas,” as told by their owner and founder of
Fans First Entertainment. If you do not know about the Savannah Bananas and their
brand of baseball, you are really missing some fun. As Cole explains, “We have
a clock and our games top out at two hours. We don’t allow bunts. Batters can
steal first base. And if a fan catches a foul ball in the stands, it’s an out.
Crazy Right?” Actually, it is hilarious as the highlight video below illustrates. Cole, whose firm’s motto is “Fans First. Entertain
Always,” is straightforward and highly amusing in his writing. He begins
with describing growing up outside of Boston and the love of baseball that he
shared with his Dad. Right away, though, readers will appreciate Cole’s willingness
to take chances and provide fun for others. In a charming manner, he recites
close calls – almost going to Williamsport as a Little Leaguer, getting injured
in college before the draft – and relentlessly shares his enthusiasm for the
game. The playfulness exhibited in this book will have you smiling and laughing.
Enjoy!
