WELCOME TO SPORT, I’M AMY ZIMMER. A LEGENDARY HOLLYWOOD MOVIE SCENE, PERFORMED BY A LEGENDARY BASEBALL TEAM. THE SAVANNAH BANANAS HAVE THE FUN OF THEIR LIFE ON THE FIELD AND SHOW ONCE AGAIN THAT THEY DON’T JUST PLAY BASEBALL. ZACK FRONGILLO, ENTERTAINMENT DIRECTOR OF SAVANNAH BANANAS NATS AN ICONIC HOLLYWOOD MOVIE SCENE PERFORMED BY AN ICONIC BASEBALL TEAM. SAVANNAH BANANAS KNOWN FOR GOING VIRAL BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS DIRTY DANCE ROUTINE THAT WAS PERFORMED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FRONT OF A SOLD OUT CROWD AT THE FINANCIAL BALLPARK WITH TWO SOUTH GEORGIAN LOCALS. SOT BILL, IT WAS A HUGE PRODUCTION USING THE WHOLE TROOP THAT STARTED WITH SOMETHING REALLY SMALL AND COOL. And so it was fun to do the whole thing and have all the guys out there dancing with me. And the fans seem to love it. SOT KYLE “As soon as that song was a hit and everything started playing, I mean, people were very excited and I don’t think they knew exactly what was going to happen. And I’m sure there are probably a lot of people.” I think that’s certainly not the case. I’m going to make this whole scene from my favorite movie. OH YES, THEY DID, AND IN TRUE SAVANNAH BANANA FASHION – THEY CELEBRATE AT ALL AND DO EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT THE norm. SOT BILL, it was a lot of falls and a lot of disasters and a whole lot of trial and error to figure out how my little little self would pick up his big self. SOT KYLE, so people seem to love that kind of dynamic where the bigger guy gets lifted up by the smaller guy, which I think is a big reason why he plays so well. BUT YES, IT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF IN DEVELOPMENT BEFORE WE ACTUALLY PERFORMED IT IN LIVE PRODUCTION IN FRONT OF A CROWD. A testament to how much work goes into the routine and how important timing is, because at the end of the day the bananas are still playing baseball. SOT KYLE, I think what a lot of people don’t realize is that you have to prepare something, but if the game doesn’t make you do it, you just won’t do it. You have to put it in your back pocket. “You know you can’t give up seven runs and then go into a dance promo.” The video is still trending and has almost 20 million views on Facebook and over 17 million on Tik TOK WATCHING AND THEY LOVE IT AND THEY UNDERSTAND IT SOCIAL MEDIA is such a godsend but with certain things we do we have a really strong idea that it will go well. Zack is one of several constantly working behind the scenes to bring the best ideas to life. 31;18 –
