Dream Team Line-Up: Who Will Join the Savannah Bananas in NYC?

The Savannah Bananas are heading to New York City, ready to dazzle in the legendary Yankee Stadium. But which celebrities are poised to make waves on the field? Here’s a star-studded wishlist guaranteed to amp up the Banana Bonanza this weekend!

A Taste of New York

Stepping into the Big Apple means stepping up expectations. The heart of NYC isn’t just its skyline or bustling streets; it’s the array of stars, from sports legends to iconic entertainers. Think of the multitude who call New York home: from the basketball genius of Lew Alcindor to the film exploits of Eddie Murphy. This mix makes NYC the perfect playground for the Bananas.

Dazzling Debuts

Bringing Back the Block – Jennifer Lopez

Could it be? Jenny from the block is back in town. With her Bronx roots and stride in softballs during high school, she could steal the spotlight not just in the stands but at the plate too. Her presence would definitely smooth over any absence felt by the missing A-Rod.

From Stage to Stadium – Denzel Washington

Denzel’s deep ties to NYC, not to mention his loyalty to the Yankees, make him a compelling candidate. Just imagine the uproar if Denzel swapped a film set for a baseball diamond, his Yankee fandom wearing loud and proud.

Empire State of Baseball – Jay Z

Rap mogul Jay Z might not have wielded a bat, but he knows how to command an audience. Whether donning the iconic number ‘4-5’ or lighting up the field with Empire State vibes, bringing Jay Z could blend hip-hop flair with sporty panache.

New York’s Finest

The Captain’s Choice – Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera

Names synonymous with Yankee excellence, Jeter and Rivera are New York’s adored sportsmen. With their proven prowess and household fame, they promise to bring depth to the Bananas’ roster for a day.

Hollywood on the Field – Entourage Cast

Straight out of Hollywood and onto the field, the ‘Entourage’ team promises not just celebrity face value but entertainment at its finest—a perfect fit considering the show’s ties to Yankee Stadium.

Final Flourish – Billy Crystal as Banana Manager

Picture Billy Crystal donning yellow, leading the Bananas with “maahvelous” charm. Following his baseball cameo with the Yankees, who better to take on the managerial mantle?

The 49,000 fans donning their Banana caps are in for a treat. Whoever steps up ultimately, these guests are bound to make this NYC meet unforgettable. In Jay Z’s words—embrace the excitement and “what the hell are you waiting for?”
