Episode Notes

Jesse Cole is a former college baseball player who graduated from Wofford College in 2007 and currently owns and operates the Savannah Bananas: the most entertaining show on a baseball diamond. At a Bananas game you'll find players batting on stilts, sitting in the stands with fans, doing choreographed dances on the field, and announcing themselves as they walk up to the plate. You can find Jesse in the middle of the action, making the rounds in his Yellow Tuxedo doing everything he can to improve the fan experience. You can find the Savannah Bananas on the Banana Ball World Tour in multiple cities this spring. We can promise you this: after listening to him speak you'll want to attend a Bananas game.

Jesse joins the show (34:14) after Marc and Ben recap this weekend of college baseball, focusing on the Shriners Children's College Classic, Mississippi State vs. Tulane, Miami vs. Florida, and Gonzaga vs. Oklahoma State. As usual the duo highlights some of the best performances of the week and the most exciting dugout antics and on-field celebrations.
