The Savannah Bananas are coming to Philadelphia

Yes, but: There'll be nothing banal about the way they play when they take over Citizens Bank Park on Sept. 21.

Why it matters: The Savannah Bananas' unique blend of humor, dance and athleticism has made the team a touring sensation.

How it works: The Georgia-based team is baseball's answer to the Harlem Globetrotters, with the Bananas typically facing their pink-clad rival Savannah Party Animals.

• They play under Banana Ball rules, which is to say the ish is bananas … B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
• That means a two-hour time limit, bunting is banished and batters are called out if a fan catches a foul ball on the fly.

The intrigue: You never know what you'll see at a Bananas game.

• There might be ping pong in the outfield, a backflip catch, a batter on stilts or a twerking umpire.
