Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
Tuesday was a pretty slow (and bad) news day for A’s baseball, so I’m going to make you a banana:
OK, you’re a banana!
If you’re a fellow Gen-X-er that grew up on Schoolhouse Rock, you know what I’m talking about.
Bad jokes aside, yesterday I stumbled upon this fantastic profile by Margaret Fuhrer at The New York Times of a collegiate summer league baseball team from Georgia, the Savannah Bananas. The team was founded with theatrics in mind from the start, adding a heavy dose of frivolity and showmanship to competitive team sports.
