In a press release Tuesday evening, the Savannah Bananas announced Brockton as one of the social media sensation’s destinations on its Banana Ball World Tour. The Brockton Rox won a national bid to host the exhibition game at Campanelli Stadium on Aug. 16, 2023. The Rox will play the game as “The Party Animals”.
Here is video from the draft,
“For Norm Laviolette, part of new ownership for the Brockton Rox and leader in the Boston entertainment scene, winning the bid to bring The Savannah Bananas to Boston is just part of a bigger vision for the future of the Brockton Rox,” the statement said.
“Laviolette, who also owns and operates Improv Asylum and Laugh Boston, as well as a number of other comedy, corporate training and entertainment venues throughout the country, is aiming to bring this fan-first, fun-first style of entertainment baseball to Campanelli Stadium on a regular basis. Laviolette is even eyeballing the creation of a exhibition team to play a few games as early as this upcoming 2023 season for the Brockton Rox.
Coming off a season in which the sons of five former Red Sox legends (Pedro Martinez Jr., Manny Ramirez Jr., D’Angelo Ortiz, Jaden Sheffield and Kade Foulke), the Brockton Rox make another splash ahead of its campaign next summer.
