Owned by Jesse and Emily Cole, they are embarking on their fourth "World Tour". During their visit to Coolray Field, they will play three games on March 22, 23, and 24.

Their unique "Banana Ball" format includes time limits, point-based scoring for innings, and various rules to keep the game fast-paced. Tickets for their Gwinnett County visit will be available through a lottery system, and fans can join the lottery list before December 1.
