Banana Bowl: Presented Ad-Free by Liberty Mutual Insurance

Disney's channel usually trades in trailers, film clips and costume commentary. This weekend it carried a full ballgame, and the Banana Bowl drew about 240,000 views in its first day, roughly fifteen times what the channel's longer uploads usually manage.

Banana Ball is the circus-tinged version of baseball built by the Savannah Bananas, and its first championship game filled Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., with a crowd of more than 41,000. The final pitted the Bananas against the Texas Tailgaters, with all six league teams and their casts on hand. The broadcast is a sponsored presentation, shown without ad breaks courtesy of Liberty Mutual Insurance.

The pregame alone sets the tone. Split, the Bananas' mascot, skydives into the stadium to deliver the game ball. Commentator Josh Talevski opens with "Happy Saturday night, happy Banana Bowl!", and Brett Loftis calls it "the biggest stage we've ever seen in the history of our sport." Then performers playing Lumière, Belle and Gaston join players and dancers on the field for "Be Our Guest."

The rules are their own show: walks become sprints, batters can steal first, bunting is banned, and a foul ball caught by a fan counts as an out.

In the comments, the new anthem "look what we made" comes up again and again, with several viewers thinking of Bananas founders Jesse and Emily Cole watching from the mound. Others name the surprise guests they spotted, among them the Jonas Brothers and John Cena, and many congratulate the Tailgaters. One fan thanks Disney for opening its channel to the league as part of a promise to keep the games on YouTube.

What viewers say

The new anthem "look what we made" gave me chills. Must be so surreal for Jesse and Emily to look out from the mound at how far they've come. All that hard work. And it's fitting that all the players were involved. What a great moment

I rarely watch the Super Bowl, but I will definitely watch the Banana Bowl every year. So many special guests and a competitive game. Banana Ball is a very special sport and I hope it will last for a long time.

As a 76 year old woman who once was a professional athlete, I commend what you have created. I couldn’t enjoy anything more. You have given us fun, joy, laughter and most of all friendships. Congratulations to the entire league. Thank you for highlighting Foster families. Keep it going and growing.
