Check Out What Happened In The First Game In Buffalo

The Bananas, who are playing a total of three games this weekend against the Firefighters, were greeted at a sold-out Sahlen Field on Friday, July 5, 2024.

More than 16,000 fans piled into the downtown stadium to watch the Banana Ball live, and they got an amazing show.

One of the game's best moments came when Bananas Catcher Eric Jones, Jr. hit a home run at Sahlen Field. When Jones rounded the bases and scored his run, the Bananas team celebrated that home run in a very Buffalo way.

If you've ever heard the saying 'When in Rome, do as the Romans', then you can already understand what the Bananas did when Jones scored his home run.

Just take a minute and cue up your favorite Bills Mafia tailgating moment and bring out the folding tables because the team was ready to jump through one.
