The Savannah Bananas are coming to Chapel Hill

As the Bill Belichick saga turns from depressing to bizarre, there is a bit of bright news on the horizon. The baseball circus sensations known as the Savannah Bananas are coming to Chapel Hill in April for two games in Kenan Stadium!

The Bananas will take on the Texas Tailgaters on April 11 and 12. Football will be a painful memory at that point, but perhaps Tar Heel fans will still be on an emotional high from winning the national championship five days prior. One can hope, at least.

In addition to full-action Harlem Globetrotter-style baseball, the Bananas usually have a bevy of surprises to delight fans. Two weeks ago in Houston, 50 Cent made a surprise appearance:

In addition to the hijinks and celebrities, the Bananas can certainly show some skill on the diamond, with plenty of pop in their bats and web gems galore. If you're in Chapel Hill this spring, you should definitely sign up for the ticket lottery to win a chance to see a sporting spectacle in Kenan Stadium. The fun over two nights should be enough to wipe away some of the pain and anguish of this season, though even the Bananas aren't strong enough to do a Men in Black memory wipe.
