Brian Dozier and Joe Mauer Join Banana Ball at Target Field

On Friday night, the Savannah Bananas came to Target Field with their fun-filled brand of Banana Ball. 

As they always do, they incorporated some friends into their game. 

Joe Mauer came to welcome the Bananas to town and throw out the ceremonial first pitch.   

In the seventh inning, Brian Dozier was introduced to the crowd over about 39,000. He acknowledged them, and they gave him a long and loud ovation. Dozier ultimately struck out on a fifth-pitch fastball, but he smiled and waved to the crowd. 

The Bananas will play at 8:00 pm on Saturday night and 3:00 pm on Sunday at Target Field.  If you go to any of the games and want to share pictures and stories here.
