Minor Leaguer comes to plate with golf caddie and clubs

The Savannah Bananas is the most entertaining team in baseball

The Savannah Bananas of the Coastal Plain League are the best team in all of professional baseball.

A few weeks ago one of their batter came to the plate with a microphone and announced his own walk-up as he headed to bat.


On Thursday, infielder Josh Lavender walked up to the plate, not with a bat but rather a golf yardage book.

A caddie came up along with Lavender with a set of clubs and a range finder.

The caddie looked out on the field, surveying the field before handing Lavender a club, which he shook off taking a bat inside.

Lavender's walk up music was also The Masters theme.

Before taking a few practice cuts, Lavender pretended to use the bat a golf club.

The Bananas have sold out every home game since 2016, by combining baseball with entertainment.

Their owner Jesse Cole is known for wearing an all-yellow tuxedo at games.

In addition to the golf entrance, another player game to bat on Thursday with a flower girl throwing petals on the ground.

The Bananas also have a pep band, dancing senior squad along with dancing players, coaches and more.
