Must be an incentive to throw strikes. Otherwise, you're giving up a double to the speedy players.
I can see how there's a lot of strategy regarding a sprint. I assume the catcher does not have to touch the ball again once the sprint is announced. All outfielders should immediately run to somewhere around 2nd base in order to touch the ball as quick as possible. I do figure there's ways to catch a sprinter. Hell, he could be tagged out between first and second if everybody goes bananas.
Got to see it in the bottom of the 5th. The Savannah player easily reached 2nd. He then made it home somehow - I can't find a box score on ESPN :ateeth: . They've got this article, but no box score or link to one:

In the top of the 7th I saw a fan put a Texas player out by catching a foul ball :thumbup: . The stadium looks full - "capacity crowd". :clap:

Scored on a wild pitch for the point.

There's open seats in the upper deck.

I thought it was a fun game. MLB could take some ideas.

They are. For example, they let the Rockies play.

My neighbor told me that the Savannah Bananas will be playing and the game will be on ESPN at 7pm eastern time.
Thanks for the reminder. It's in Philly, O Really. Capacity 42,901. Vs Texas Tailgaters.

Banana Ball rules
:thumbup: Really enjoyed the game. It was hilarious. Bananas are on a winning streak. Looked like the stadium was near full, too.

My brush with greatness.

I peed next to him at a Cubs playoff game in Atlanta in 2003.

For me, it was a career highlight.

Weird. Why didn't you just go to the men's room?

Couldn't help it.

I was in the presence of greatness.
