The Bananas and Clowns are playing a three-game series at GABP. The Cincinnati Clowns were based at Crosley Field, the home of the Cincinnati Reds, during the 1943 season.

In May, Higgins hosted his annual celebrity basketball game at his alma mater, Oak Ridge High School, in Tennessee.

In June 2025, Reds Hall of Famer Sean Casey tore his hamstring while running the bases during a Savannah Bananas game at GABP.

In June 2025, longtime Cincinnati Bengals starting quarterback Andy Dalton took part in a dodgeball contest at a Savannah Bananas game at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium.
