Today, they brought out former Padres pitcher and Hall of Famer, Jake Peavy. I was hoping it&#8217;d be a musical guest (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/onsi\/savannah-bananas\/news\/the-biggest-celebrity-special-guest-ever-for-the-savannah-bananas-in-houston\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">50 Cent guest starred at their Houston game<\/a> LOL) &#8211; there&#8217;s so many from San Diego &#8211; Blink-182, P.O.D., Slightly Stoopid, Switchfoot, Jason Mraz&#8230; Also, the bestie ran into a member of early 2000s boy band <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y0l_VcaLqVE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">O-Town<\/a> once at a 7-Eleven in East County bc he apparently lives in Santee \ud83e\udd23 You guys, I wouldn&#8217;t be able to identify a single O-Town member if they were in a police lineup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mayanrocks.com\/blog\/savannah-bananas-san-diego-padres-hat.jpg\" alt=\"savannah bananas san diego petco park\" width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n\n\n<p>The cutest Padres fan \ud83e\udd70<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jess &amp; Abe are going to the Padres game against the Diamondbacks in Mexico City next month. Abe&#8217;s sister is going &#8211; she was born and raised in SD, but lives in Phoenix now &#8211; so I asked if she&#8217;s going for the Padres or the Diamondbacks, and he said Padres, ofc! \ud83d\udc9b\ud83e\udd0e Once a Padres fan, always a Padres fan&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banana Ball game was a bit too loud for little man. Jess forgot his headphones, which he usually wears at Padres games (Jess and Abe are season ticket holders). It was like 100x louder than a regular ball game. They don&#8217;t have walk-on songs, but they blast music and have dance breaks throughout the entire game. Lots of Taylor Swift and country songs I&#8217;ve never heard before \ud83d\ude05 So we left a little early, which was totally fine by me! We decided that, while a fun experience, Banana Ball is a young woman&#8217;s game LOL, and we probably wouldn&#8217;t do it again \ud83d\ude05 I&#8217;ll just keep following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thesavbananas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@thesavbanannas<\/a> on insta, where I can watch their videos in the comfort of my own home at preferred volume levels \ud83d\udc75\ud83c\udffb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a beautiful day for Banana Ball (@ Petco Park) It was hot as fuck outside, but luckily our seats were in the shade, bc white people were def getting sunburned out there \ud83d\ude05 Jess and I wore matching shirts that we Amazon Primed two days ago.
