While the Philadelphia Phillies hit the road this weekend, Citizens Bank Park was still the place to be. For the first time in the history of the tour, the Savannah Bananas and Party Animals took over South Philly, bringing Banana Ball to the City of Brotherly Love.
Banana Ball, which is centered around putting fans first, is full of trick plays, singing, dancing, and all-around good fun. Even though the Bananas lost to the Party Animals on Saturday night, the entertainment was a welcome distraction after the Phillies lost 6-3 to the Mets earlier in the day.
