Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not at a baseball game to watch. I know almost nothing about the sport and know very little about the players. My knowledge doesn’t go beyond knowing Gabe Kapler is hot in his uniform and he’s a pitcher(?), first base(?)… JK. So going into this book, knowing that I go to baseball games solely for the food and hot men in uniforms, I was pretty excited to learn more especially from the goofiest, silliest, talented Savannah Bananas.

Knowing nothing about Jesse and going into this book with an open mind, I was entertained and learned a lot. I’m sure at one point, there has been a video of the Savannah Bananas doing sexy dances, dressed in outrageous costumes, or just being goofy while playing baseball. I never knew how this team came about and Jesse did a wonderful job telling how this all came about, the ideas beside his vision, and the inspiration and challenges that he faced. This book is made for the hardcore, die hard fans and for those newbies who don’t know the difference between shortstop and outfield. You will find yourself more in love with the Savannah Banans after this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dutton for this ARC

I am a big baseball fan and was aware of the savannah bananas through TikTok actually. They have a lot of good vibes and a lot of fun. I was very excited to get an advanced copy of this. I loved learning more about this team. I thought the book was really well written. I enjoyed this one. If you are a baseball fan like me or just a fan of the savannah bananas you should read this one.
