Pensacola Blue Wahoos to host two Banana Ball games in 2027

The Pensacola Blue Wahoos have announced plans to bring Banana Ball to the city next year, with two games scheduled for 2027. Banana Ball is an exhibition baseball format known for its fast-paced, entertainment-focused gameplay and fan-friendly rules.

The Blue Wahoos, a Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds that plays at Pensacola's Community Maritime Park, regularly host special events and exhibitions alongside their regular minor-league season. The announcement adds to the team's event calendar and represents another draw for local baseball fans looking for something different from traditional ballpark fare.

Banana Ball games have been part of a touring exhibition circuit that emphasizes entertainment value, including shorter games and modified rules designed to increase action and fan engagement. Details about specific dates and ticket information were not immediately available.
