Description
"The Savannah Bananas have peeled back the game of baseball and made it fun again. This is their story"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
Cole dreamed of pitching in the Majors. Instead he reshaped Savannah, Georgia's professional team into the league champion Savannah Bananas. And now the Bananas have restyled baseball itself into something all their own: they throw out a first banana rather than a ball. Their first-base coach dances between innings. And the rules themselves are bananas: if a fan catches a foul ball it's an out; and players might go to bat on stilts or wearing a banana costume. And their fans absolutely love it. Here Cole reveals the ideas and experiences that allowed him to reimagine America's oldest sport by creating a phenomenon that is helping fans fall in love with the game all over again. It's a story of baseball, love, leadership, and going just a bit bananas. -- adapted from jacket.
