The pro Bananas played a one-city “world tour” in 2021, added a half-dozen sold-out stops to their itinerary in 2022, and recently launched a summer series at Grayson Stadium that included the live telecast of a game on ESPN2 and the premier of a five-part series “Bananaland.”

‘Bananaland’ When to watch: Arrives Friday, on ESPN+, and airs Friday at 9 p.m., on ESPN2.

“At this point, the guys coming in know when they get into Bananaland, everything gets a little weird,” Harrison said.

This summer, the streaming service ESPN+ will air “Bananaland,” a series about how the team created what a promo calls “the greatest show in sports.”

A former baseball player with a B.F.A. in dance from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Frongillo brings a dancer’s perspective to Bananaland shenanigans, scripting out the entertainment components of each game and supervising the cast of performers.
