Last weekend at Busch Stadium was everything you’d expect from Banana Ball – hot, loud, hilarious and completely packed. The weather was definitely warm, but it was beautiful, and seeing a sold-out Busch Stadium full of people having that much fun was pretty incredible.

The Bananas brought nonstop energy, crazy plays, dancing and plenty of laughs, and the crowd was definitely part of the show too. From the youngest Banana fan being carried across the field like Simba in The Lion King, to the “World’s Slowest Race” where little ones had to crawl to the finish line to their parents, there was always something happening. Princess Potassia also hosts a special mid-game tradition where one young fan in the crowd gets crowned the next Princess Potassia.

It was also so fun seeing some familiar St. Louis favorites get in on the action – David Freese, Matt Carpenter, David Eckstein, and Matt Adams, a.k.a. “Big City.”

Such a fun weekend in St. Louis and definitely one I won’t forget. | Carrie Ogle
