The Savannah Bananas are in Chicago for the first time ever to play their signature Banana Ball against the Firefighters at Rate Field Friday.

T his weekend the Windy City played host to the Savannah Bananas and the Firefighter squads. Game one was played on Friday evening and even though we had countless memorable on-field plays and celebrity drop ins the crowd might have stolen the show.

Lugis and fellow Bananas pitcher Kyle Perry spoke about their tour on the WGN Weekend Morning News Saturday, talking about the work that goes into being the hottest team outside of Major League Baseball and how that work is so appealing to a wide audience that comes to see the game and the show.
