00:00Banana Ball is baseball's wildest show and it's just begun.
00:04In a yellow tuxedo and bowler hat at Yankee Stadium,
00:08Jesse Cole turned baseball into showbiz.
00:11If Barnum and Bailey ever collided with the MLB,
00:14Banana Ball would be the result.
00:16And Cole, its top-hatted architect,
00:18has built something that is not just a game, but a movement.
00:23Jesse and Emily Cole sold everything,
00:25even their bed, to keep their dream alive.
00:27A million dollars in debt.
00:30Fast-forward a decade,
00:31and the Savannah Bananas have sold out stadiums in 25 states,
00:35performed at 17 Major League ballparks,
00:38and drawn 2.2 million fans during a record-smashing tour.
00:42A sport reimagined, faster, funnier, and full of fans.
00:47Bunting is illegal.
00:50And when the game's tied, forget extra innings.
00:53We're going to a dramatic, one-on-one showdown.
00:56That's why former WWE wrestlers are throwing golden bananas
00:59for first pitches.
01:01Why Joe Torre is dancing on first base.
01:03And why 12-year-olds like Hank dream of Banana Ball,
01:06not Major League Baseball.
01:08From viral fame to stadium dreams,
01:11Banana Ball goes big league.
01:13Amid the tragedy surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination
01:16and a visit to New York,
01:17The team reminded their staff,
01:19This world is heavy.
01:20The message?
01:21Banana Ball isn't an escape.
01:24It's a counterweight.
01:25Cole doesn't just want to entertain.
01:27He wants to reconnect people.
01:29To the game.
01:30To each other.
01:31To something lighter.
01:32It's why fans line up by the millions.
01:34Why college football stadiums are next.
01:36And why even MLB might be quietly taking notes.
01:39One heartbeat.
01:41One party.
01:42One purpose.
01:43As lights dimmed for yellow,
01:45The absurd and the profound collided.
01:47In the stands,
01:4849,000 people stood as one.
01:51And as Jesse Cole said,
01:53Eyes bright behind his yellow-tinted vision,
