The Savannah Bananas can't have all the fun by themselves...thankfully, the Savannah Party Animals exist to bring extra doses of awesomeness to every Banana Ball game. These ARE NOT the Washington Generals. No sir. The Party Animals are made of of real professional players and they play to win. They even won about five games during the spring Banana Ball World Tour through six cities. Today, player and new Party Animal Head Coach, Mike Vavasis, joins Grayson Knight to discuss his background, his ridiculous fitness, and what it takes to be a Party Animal. And just for kicks, he throws in a little Jake Gyllenhaal also. Please take a listen or check out the video of today's interview on Youtube at Baseball Podcasts Are Fun.

If you have seen a Savannah Bananas game on ESPN2, ESPN+ or streaming on the internet, you have heard Broadcast Entertainer Biko Skalla call all the action on the field. And when he isn't in the booth, Biko takes his talents to the field, the beach, the coach's hot tub, even the massage table, to get answers to all the burning questions. His player interviews are legendary and so funny (Check them out on Youtube). In today's interview, Grayson Knight gets all the background scoop about Biko, from growing up loving baseball and the Yankees in Saugerties, NY to his current home under the palm trees in Savannah, GA. Biko even shares some pointers for Gray and other aspiring sportscaster. Please take a listen to this terrific interview and remember, all episodes are now on Youtube at Baseball Podcasts Are Fun and you can send us some love directly @Baseballpodcastsarefun on Instagram. Thank you, Biko!

Coach Ballgame, MLB-endorsed youth baseball coach, is live and in-person, and in the kitchen to speak with Grayson Knight. Today, Grayson asks Coach Ballgame what the feedback from players and parents has been from the scores of Sandlot clinics he has ran all over the country. We thank Coach Ballgame (James Lowe) for not only coming to the Atlanta area to run a Sandlot Grayson and his sister could attend, but for being so gracious as to conduct this short interview with Grayson knowing everyone was so exhausted. For more information on Coach Ballgame's Sandlot clinics, please check out coachballgame.com or visit his Youtube & Instagram pages. You will not be disappointed.

Grayson Knight welcomes Savannah Party Animals and Savannah Bananas Josh Lavender into the house and onto the podcast. Josh talks about playing in Mexico, Japan, Australia, and of course in Savannah on both sides of the field for the most fun, best run baseball organization in all the land. He also gets his favorite baseball movie wrong (palm slam!). We'll let you listen to see what we mean and if you can spot the error. Remember, all of our episodes can be viewed on our Youtube Channel and please follow us @baseballpodcastsarefun on Instagram.

Playing baseball with two arms is hard enough, but for Tommy Morrissey, who was born missing most of his right arm, he's making it look pretty easy. And having a lot of fun, too! Already a viral sensation from his golf days - meeting Tiger Woods, performing on Ellen and Steve Harvey's "Little Big Shots" (no big deal, right?) - Tommy found internet stardom again this summer. First, by cracking two home runs during his Cooperstown tournament in July, and now, throwing a complete game no-hitter last weekend. But Tommy's biggest contribution might be with his heart. He's turned his limb deficiency into a way to inspire others like him to learn to live successful lives and has helped raise millions of dollars for kids like him. In his words, "We are not only changing lives, we're saving lives." Please check out this special episode here or watch on our YouTube channel and remember to follow us on Instagram @baseballpodcastsarefun and visit unlimbited.org to see how Tommy's foundation and the Paley institute are making a huge difference for so many.

Grayson Knight got some bad news this week when the Tampa Bay Rays let home town favorite Brett Phillips go. A guy that played every day with absolute joy and represented the game better than almost anybody ever, was a victim of his poor hitting...landing with AL East rival, Baltimore Orioles. In today's episode, dad turned the tables on Grayson to get his reaction to his baseball hero leaving the Rays. Gray talks about what Brett meant to Tampa, the Rays, the fans, and if he'll still support Brett in Orange & Black (Spoiler, of course he will). This wasn't our regularly scheduled interview, but it was timely and personal to your favorite almost-13-year-old baseball podcast host. Don't forget to watch this (and every) interview on our Baseball Podcasts Are Fun Youtube channel and follow @baseballpodcastsarefun on Instagram. 

Dan Oberst is the First Baseman for the Savannah Bananas Premier Team. When he's not having the most fun anyone could ever have playing the game of baseball, Dan also works with Prospects Select to help develop and evaluate baseball players looking to take their game to the next level or showcase their athleticism for colleges and maybe even the pros. Dan joins Grayson Knight to discuss growing up in the Tampa Bay Area, his favorite stadiums to play in, and what it's like to play for the Bananas. There are a few audio hiccups, but this is also a show conducted by a 12 year-old, so please be patient. Dan can be found on Instagram @dansbyyyyy and you can watch this interview over on our Youtube channel and follow us @baseballpodcastsarefun.
