The Slugger Museum + Factory (800 W. Main St.) is about to get a little bit sillier with a new exhibit on the Savannah Bananas exhibition baseball team — they’re like the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball.

The Bananas and their “rivals” the Savannah Party Animals will play three games at Louisville Slugger Field on Thursday, Aug. 1 through Saturday, Aug. 3.

But, if you missed getting tickets to those sold-out games, you can still catch a bit of the Bananas excitement at the museum, with a collection of memorabilia. You can even step up to the plate and swing a game-used bat from the team’s back-flipping center fielder David Meadows.

The Louisville Slugger Museum + Factory is open Mondays-Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bonus: The museum will stay open an extra hour on Friday, Aug. 2 + Saturday, Aug 3 for the new exhibit. Tickets are on sale now.
