I liken the Bananas to the Harlem Globetrotters, in broad strokes, where the
game isn't usually front an center.
I know there were baseball 'barnstorming' teams back in the day, but outside of
the travel, I have no sense of how they might compare.

I've tried to find the 60 minutes segment from this year with the creator,
but it didn't seem to be on YouTube.
Lots of other videos on YouTube that explain what they've done. In short...
Fans first.... And change the rules to keep the fans engaged or watching.

I am a monster baseball fan (primarily the Cubs, obviously, but also the Tigers
to a lesser extent), and I have watched this "thing" just expand this year
without logic, rhyme or reason. It's just AA baseball with gimmicks during play
that figured out how to master social media.
I have really tried in my life not, at 51, to just crap on something new for
the sake of it being new, but the only enjoyment I've gotten from the few
highlights I've seen was the player who flopped a backflip on CNN (which then
turned into a thing in and of itself). I've even read Lauren Thiessen's
explanation over on Defector (https://share.google/UkK07z5py7BLYLzs1). But I
cannot for the life of me get how this has exploded to the level that it has.
If anyone has an explanation, I'll be a most attentive audience.
