I have been holding onto this Savannah Bananas cap for a few years now and am finally featuring it as this week's Fresh Fitted Friday selection as I am finally be attending my first-ever Banana Ball game at Yankee Stadium this coming Sunday!
 |
| The all-blue cap might be the main one worn on-field by Savannah, but I love the way the yellow pops on the white crown on this alternate more than any other cap that was available at my time of purchase. It's also worth mentioning that was before they sold a New Era version, which reverses the blue visor and yellow rear from this hat. |
 |
| Not a crazy fan of the tonal visor and undervisor, but all in all, this is a great cap that I cannot wait to finally wear out in the wild on Sunday at Yankee Stadium. |

| My first-ever cap from Zephyr Headwear just had to be a Savannah Bananas hat, didn't it?!? |
I have been following along the Bananas' inspiring journey since their inaugural season in the Coastal Plain League in 2016, as they filled the void left when the Savannah Sand Gnats of the South Atlantic League became the Columbia Fireflies upon moving to the capital city of South Carolina.
The Bananas defeated the Peninsula Pilots in the league championship in their first season, and their meteoric rise has been gratifying to witness ever since, especially when I first learned about their Banana Ball rule set, which debuted in an official game in 2020. With the world seeming so upside down at that time, the Savannah Bananas were exactly what we needed.
It seems like everyone has seen a Banana Ball game before me, but waiting until this weekend to see my first one is just fine by me! Now is as good a time as ever to remind myself how lucky we all are to be breathing and enjoying the things we love in life, and that exactly when we get around to enjoying those things is of secondary importance.
This week's Fresh Fitted Friday selection is not going on the Trading Block however please don't hesitate to reach out if you want any other cap from that list and you are willing to part with any of the hats on my Wish List.
