Yankees Host Savannah Bananas in Banana Ball at Yankee Stadium

The Yankees welcomed the Savannah Bananas for a Banana Ball event at Yankee Stadium on April 26. Tino Martinez, a Monument Park honoree, took an at‑bat as a pinch‑hitter. Derek Klena, a 14‑year Broadway veteran, pitched while performing “Phantom of the Opera,” adding to the show’s quirky appeal. The Bananas’ social media buzz highlighted the excitement of playing in New York, with players like former Giants QB Russell Wilson expressing enthusiasm. The event was part of a busy week for the Yankees, who finished a road trip and hosted a Star Wars‑themed weekend against the Orioles. chickenroadslot.lat
