Brett Young Hits It Out Of The Park At Savannah Bananas Game With Electrifying Performance
“At my age, this will probably be the last opportunity like this I’ll get. I had to take it; I didn’t have a choice,” said Brett Young to a Savannah Bananas reporter when asked about his decision to divert his current tour to play with the Bananas.
The college baseball player turned country music artist retook the mound to pitch for the Savannah Bananas at their most recent game, walking out while singing his original, “Sleep Without You.”

Who Are The Savannah Bananas?
The Savannah Bananas’ official slogan, “We Make Baseball Fun,” best explains who they are and what they stand for. The Bananas started as a minor league team, but they decided to change when they nearly went bankrupt in 2016.
The evolution of the Savannah bananas to who we know them to be today has been gradual; they slowly formed a completely different game called “Banana Ball.”
“Banana Ball” is baseball with some changes and very elaborate additions; in “Banana Ball,” you can steal first base, the players wear kilts, and in-game pre-pitch dances are routine.
The team has amassed a TikTok following of over 8 million, earning recognition for their Morgan Wallen-like walkouts and entertaining dance routines.

Brett Young’s Baseball History
Although the Savannah Bananas play baseball, it differs from the baseball that Young is used to playing. The “Mercy” Singer played college baseball for Ole Miss on a full ride and was drafted to play for the Minnesota Twins until an elbow injury ended his career.
Brett Young showed off his baseball acumen and teased his Savannah Bananas debut in a recent Instagram post:
