What is Banana Ball?

Banana Ball is a version of baseball that spices things up for audiences. You do not have to like baseball to like Banana Ball. Here are the game’s 11 unique rules:

1. Every inning is worth a point. The team with the most runs at the end of the inning, gets the point for that inning, except for the last inning, when every run counts as a point.
2. No new inning can start after two hours of play.
3. A batter cannot step out of the batter box. If he does, it’s a strike.
4. No bunting because it “sucks.”
5. A batter can steal first base on a passed ball or wild pitch at any time during the at bat.
6. There are no walks allowed. If the pitcher throws ball four, the batter is allowed to run around the bases as every defensive player has to touch the ball, except for the catcher and pitcher.
7. No mound visits allowed.
8. If a fan catches a foul ball, it’s an out.
9. If the game is tied at the end of the two hour limit, it goes into a Showdown Tiebreaker, where the hitter for each team must score a run during their at-bat or it is considered a Showdown Shutdown.
10. Both managers and fans can challenge calls on the field. The manager can challenge a call by throwing or shooting the challenge prop item onto the field. Fans also choose one representative before the game who is able to challenge one call during the game by shooting off confetti.
