MD lady transplanted to ME. My first love has always been the O's. Also love Ravens and Caps. Night owl, B-movie lover, 90's rock/ alt rock enthusiast.
They don’t make people like Nicole Sherry. They just don’t. Whip smart, first one in, last out; she demands respect & treats everyone with class & grace. The number of MiLB & MLB grounds members I’ve met, directly trained or impacted by her, are innumerable. We owe her so much💐
Craig Albernaz was in his office waiting to go to hospital for a CT scan. Kremer, Bradish, Jeremiah, Bassitt all checked on him.
Then he heard the crowd go wild for Jackson's slam.
"I was like, you know what? Fuck this. I’m going out in the dugout. I wanted to be a part of it."
If you go out drinking and call out of work the next day...
I'm here to let you know
my generation showed up for work in the same clothes we had on the night before, with a wristband
everyone said "this account is dumb! there's never scorigami in baseball!"
Unfortunately, I think "most recently less than ten minutes ago" is the funniest thing ever
Yall have no idea how much this means to the players and people of Venezuela. I’ve played there and seen the love for the game and country. These are genuine tears of joy!!!
Venezuela is a magnificent baseball country, rich with history, full of life, with a love and passion for the game that makes it better. Their players have been moved to tears with good reason. Baseball means everything to them. This means everything to them.
Joe Flacco has totaled 3 TDs against the Steelers tonight.
The last time Flacco had thrown 3TDs against Pittsburgh was 14 years ago -- the 2011 season opener -- when the Ravens beat the Steelers 35-7.
It gets harder and harder for me to have a favorite Banana Ball team the more opportunities I have to meet the players, see them play, and watch them grow as athletes and humans. The Party Animals in particular have had to travel a long road to be recognized as more than a heel to the hero Bananas—to prove themselves not only as serious contenders, but as true champions with the capability to dominate consistently in gameplay and all-around entertainment. These guys are the real deal and they are the proof that Banana Ball is a competitive sport. It's extremely difficult to do that when being taken seriously is practically antithetical to the spirit of the sport. In Banana Ball, if it isn't fun, it's not worth doing, but there is an incredible amount of hard work happening behind the scenes and on the field to make the competition real and spectacular. The Party Animals earned this win, and they deserve the title of "champions". And I hope that next year, there are five teams giving everything they've got to earn the right to take that title from them.
The Indianapolis Clowns were pioneers when it came to baseball and entertainment. They were the greatest barnstorming baseball team for over 50 years and one of the first barnstorming teams to travel the country playing in ballparks of all sizes. They paved the way by entertaining fans in a different way on a baseball field, and we are thrilled to be able to honor and pay tribute to their legacy.
We are proud to partner with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum to help preserve the history of the Indianapolis Clowns and bring their legacy to fans all over the country.
“When I first heard the story of the Indianapolis Clowns, I was inspired,” said Owner Jesse Cole. “They were the first baseball team to put entertainment first and would go to great lengths to bring their style of baseball to fans all over the country.”
“We’ve always shared a similar vision and mission: To make baseball fun, put the fans first, and entertain always. Partnering with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum to bring the Clowns to millions of fans all over the country and preserve their legacy is a dream come true.”
The Clowns had some of the greatest showmen and showwomen to ever play the game. From Hank Aaron, Satchel Paige, and Goose Tatum to Toni Stone, Mamie Peanut Johnson, and Connie Morgan, we plan to honor them and celebrate these legends every night.
“The rebirth of the Indianapolis Clowns is an exciting and historically relevant tribute to the team that was at the forefront of combining baseball and entertainment,” said Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro Leagues. “Our partnership is a tremendous opportunity to not only entertain, but educate fans about the rich history of the Negro Leagues while paying homage to the team that helped influence Banana Ball.”
The team will be led by head coach Errick Fox, who first joined the Savannah Bananas coaching staff in 2018. He’ll be coaching alongside the Clowns' Primetime coach, a World Series champion from the Philadelphia Phillies, Ryan Howard.
“Banana Ball is all about energy, entertainment, flipping the script — and you know what? That’s exactly what the Negro Leagues brought to the game from day one. Flash. Innovation. Community and an unconditional love for the game. They were rockstars before the world called ballplayers that,” said Howard.
The Clowns were the most entertaining team of their time, and we believe they were built for our entertaining sport of Banana Ball. We hope the story of the Indianapolis Clowns will inspire millions of fans in the years to come.
