The Savannah Bananas were born in Georgia, but at least some of the credit for their explosive growth into a nationwide spectacle must go to a Colorado native.
Zack Frongillo, the Bananas’ director of entertainment, is a Dakota Ridge High School alum who is from Littleton. Frongillo has been with the franchise since 2021, helping Bananas owner Jesse Cole morph the brand from a college summer league team into a baseball craze that sells out stadiums across America.
The Bananas visit Coors Field this weekend for games on Saturday and Sunday, where Banana Ball will make its Colorado debut.
