The Bananas were originally a collegiate summer league amateur team that existed from 2016 to 2022. The team played in the Coastal Plain League, a wood-bat league for college players with 14 teams in Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia and North Carolina.
In August 2022, the team announced they would discontinue their collegiate amateur summer league team to play their unique version of baseball, called Banana Ball, year-round.
The designated foil team for the Savannah Bananas is the Party Animals.

The Party Animals are the Bananas' partner touring team. The Bananas play their home games and most of their away games against the Party Animals, similar to the relationship between the Harlem Globetrotters and the Washington Generals.

However, the Bananas also play other challengers on the road, from independent pro minor league teams to international teams.
So yeah, you're pretty much right, kinda like the baseball Harlem Globetrotters now.

Big difference is that, like last night, the Party Animals win games. It's not a one-sided show with players that play the game legitimately around all the circus atmosphere.

Oof. I'm sorry.

By process of going to a Twins-Phils game in August, our family has a rooting interest in either team winning the WS.
