New York City! Savannah Bananas Light Up Yankee Stadium with an Unforgettable Weekend
New York City, you brought the energy — and the Savannah Bananas delivered a weekend at Yankee Stadium that will go down in Banana Ball history. From the opening pitch to the final dance-off, the Bananas turned one of baseball’s most iconic venues into a stage for nonstop joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
The spotlight moment came when Miguel Cervantes, Broadway’s own Alexander Hamilton, took the field. Known for his commanding presence as the lead in Hamilton, Cervantes brought the same fire and charisma to Yankee Stadium, delivering a performance that had fans on their feet and singing along. It wasn’t just baseball; it was theater, music, and pure entertainment colliding under the bright lights of the Bronx. As one fan put it, “We came for baseball — but we got Broadway, comedy, and a rock concert rolled into one.”
Adding to the star-studded night, pop sensations Big Time Rush joined the party, bringing their signature energy and hits that had the crowd dancing in their seats. Their set perfectly captured the spirit of the Bananas — fun, youthful, and larger than life. Seeing them share the stage with the team was a reminder that Banana Ball is as much about community and connection as it is about sport.
But perhaps the most emotional highlight came when former Yankees manager and Hall of Famer Joe Torre took the field to lead the Bananas. Torre, a legend in New York baseball history, donned the yellow and embraced the Bananas’ playful spirit, proving that the love of the game transcends generations and traditions. Fans roared as Torre tipped his cap and reminded everyone that even legends can have fun when Banana Ball takes over.
The weekend was more than just a game; it was a cultural event that celebrated New York, baseball, and the boundless creativity of the Bananas. The electric atmosphere inside Yankee Stadium showed once again why Banana Ball has captured hearts across America and is now setting its sights on global stages.
New York City, the Bananas came, they saw, and they danced — but most importantly, they celebrated with you. From Cervantes to Big Time Rush to Torre, it was a night that blended sport, music, and history into something truly unforgettable.
The Bananas promised they’d make Yankee Stadium bananas — and they absolutely delivered.
