- dghlsakjg 4y agoThe Bananas are a fun side show, but they aren't playing baseball (literally, they have different rules), and they certainly aren't 'one league down' from MLB. Last I checked they were in a summer collegiate league, but I don't think they even do that anymore. They are more like the Harlem Globe Trotters than any sort of serious sports team. Great fun, great entertainment, but there is no actual sports contest being played.
- christophilus 4y agoAh. I thought they were a seed team, but that would be ridiculous, eh? The Globe Trotters is an apt comparison, and like the Bananas, I prefer them to the NBA. MLB and the NBA have the same problem. There are so many games that it seems as if chance and luck are too diminished, making the sports too predictable and dull for my taste.
