Banana Ball set to bring high-energy experience to Keesler Federal Park

Loco Beach Coconuts, Firefighters set to draw thousands to Biloxi for Friday, Saturday games

BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) — Forget everything you know about baseball.

When Banana Ball comes to Biloxi, the rules are different, the pace is faster, and pretty much anything can happen.

“I think that they’ve done a really good job of getting young people and older people to like their attention to baseball and bringing more attention to the positive side of the team sport and the actual sport of baseball itself,” Biloxi Shuckers Community Development Manager David Blackwell said.

The Loco Beach Coconuts and The Firefighters are bringing the show to the Coast. And behind the scenes, Keesler Federal Park is getting ready to welcome thousands of high-energy fans.

“We’ve been preparing; we’ve been working,” Blackwell said. “Our entire staff has put in the extra work to, as a team, you know, team effort to make sure our stadium’s ready.”
