High-energy baseball, nonstop entertainment, and summer fun hits Frawley Stadium in 2026!
Get ready to go Bananas, Delaware! The most entertaining game in baseball is coming to Wilmington. ESPN2 has officially announced that Banana Ball will make its way to Judy Johnson Field at Daniel S. Frawley Stadium for a three-game series, August 13–15, 2026, presented by the Delaware Tourism Office.
This isn’t your average night at the ballpark. Banana Ball combines the spirit of America’s favorite pastime with the energy of a full-blown party. Imagine two hours of fast-paced baseball. No bunting, no waiting around, and yes, foul balls caught by fans count as outs! Add in acrobatic trick plays, twerking umpires, player dance-offs, and nonstop music, and you’ve got an experience that’s part sport, part spectacle, and 100% fun.
The three-game series will feature the Texas Tailgaters and the Loco Beach Coconuts, two teams known for turning every inning into an unforgettable show.
“There’s a special brand of fun that comes with Banana Ball,” said Blue Rocks owner Dave Heller. “Batters on stilts, choreographed dances, twerking umpires, acrobatic trick plays-Banana Ball offers a unique kind of entertainment that kids of all ages find to be super fun. It will be among the most exciting events to hit Wilmington in 2026.”
The Delaware Tourism Office is proud to partner with the Blue Rocks to make this high-octane event possible, shining a national spotlight on Wilmington and Delaware’s growing sports tourism scene.
