Georgia baseball with a twist: How the Savannah Bananas put a spin on the sport, delighting fans

Doc Adams shaped the national pastime more than any other individual, but his name was lost to history. Baseball enthusiasts are now rallying behind his legacy, saying he deserves America’s acclaim and a spot in the Hall of Fame.

Meet the Savannah Bananas — a minor league team playing ball for the enjoyment of thousands of fans. 

The Savannah, Georgia-based team plays ball during the regular baseball season, but this ball game is different.

Fox News Digital spoke with Cole about the Bananas and how this sports culture came to be.

"We had a dream that we could make baseball fun, if we could just get people to come see it," he said.
