As a 5 year old I got to be bat boy for the Red Sox and Lee Smith came and sat next to me. Thirty-four years later, Lee welcomed me to the Hall of Fame as the Bananas were honored with our own exhibit. The next day, he joined me in the dugout, this time wearing a Bananas jersey.

I gave my Dad the first copy of my new book "Banana Ball." No one deserves it more than my Dad as he raised me and encouraged me to dream big with everything in my life.
Today, I feel like I'm still just a kid trying to make my Dad proud.

Strongly considering this for Banana Ball
Today I unveiled my most ambitious dumb sports rule yet.
The ceremonial first pitch in baseball should count. Celebrities, former athletes, musicians whoever. If you throw out the first pitch and it’s a ball the first batter starts with a 1-0. Think of the added pressure.

From becoming a foster family to launching our non-profit, Bananas Foster.
We've got a lot of work to do, with 400,000 kids without a permanent home, but we are going to get it done. One kid. One family at a time. We are going to build a waitlist to become foster families.

The Golden Batter Rule - from an idea session on April 26th, 2018 now to the game of Banana Ball.
In the 9th inning or whenever the game is on the line, a team can bat anyone in the lineup. Even back to back. Now, your best hitter can always be up when the game matters most.

Probably won’t like that we are looking to put live bulls in the visiting bullpen this year.
“Bullpen” refers to the area of a “bull’s pen” where bulls are held before they are slaughtered—it’s a word with speciesist roots & we can do better than that.
Switching to “arm barn” would be a home run for baseball fans, players, and animals 💪⚾️

This young man tried out for Team Savannah last night. He put on a show on the field but his most impressive tool was his character. After the tryout, a group of young kids asked for his autograph. His response was, "Only if I can have yours," and handed the kids his hat.

@MLB
teams rely too much on the on field product to draw fans. If the

For tonight's game, we've updated the Showdown rule. Never would have thought we'd have two ties on the tour, but after last game's 8-8 tie, it was time to make a change.
Now, after the third showdown, we will continue bases loaded with one fielder until the game is won.
