Banana Ball World Tour

Banana Ball World Tour at Comerica Park

Who said baseball has to behave itself? The Indianapolis Clowns and Party Animals bring Banana Ball to Detroit on Friday, June 25. This is baseball with its collar loosened: quick-moving action, theatrical personality and a playful attitude toward the familiar game. If a regular box score feels too predictable, here's a different kind of Friday night.

The game borrows baseball's bones—pitching, hitting, fielding—then bends the structure toward speed and spectacle. Innings move faster. Showmanship shares the spotlight with competition. You won't know every twist before the first pitch, and that uncertainty is part of the appeal. For a fan curious about new takes on familiar sports or someone eager to watch live competition with a theatrical edge, this matchup offers both.

Bring a friend who loves baseball but craves something different, or invite someone who's never given the sport much attention. Banana Ball's appeal crosses those lines. You're there to follow the play, back a team, and see how the format holds your attention through its distinctive baseball-entertainment format. The Clowns and Party Animals each carry their own identity into the contest, so your choice of allegiance matters just as much as the entertainment around it.

Bring the friend who laughs at the unexpected. Find Banana Ball tickets for Friday and see the Clowns and Party Animals turn Fifth Third Park into a show.
