It's an interesting approach and there are a lot of teams trying to crack the code of models that will support players more. Baseball is a tough one because you can go through so many balls. Potentially 4 dozen a game. Then the umps, travel expenses, stadium leases. The numbers are very hard to work.
I feel like with Softball they wouldn't lose as many balls but also with the living situations women demand more. Love level Indyball sometimes the guys can be in a brutal living situation or sketchy tweaker hotel situations on the road.

I was actually just looking at that up the other day about the balls and in softball they usually require spectators to return the balls. It turns out there are a lot more foul balls because the field is so much smaller and it would cost them too much if they just let people keep them like they do in baseball.
For Liberation League in 2020 one mom always brought her 4 girls and they would chase down foul balls and i would buy them each back for $1 a piece.
One of the things that has overran a lot of the baseball promotions is Entertainment Ball, Savanah Bananas and there are 5 or 6 other promotions. I personally think it will get oversaturated and the initial fan base will sort of grow out of it partially. It's hard to fully tell.
WWE sort of grew up with a certain set of kids and got more and more insane into the D Generation X Era.
I personally think Banana ball and other promotions will end up like the And 1 Mix Tape Tour or like the Harlem Globe Trotters. Where it is still there in a reduced capacity.
You might have heard about this guy. It's certainly one of the craziest sports stories.
It's crazy how big Bananna ball has blown up over the past few years. It seems like everyone is scrambling to get tickets. I agree with you though, I think it will eventually die out.
Yeah, i actually like the Bananas when they played real baseball because it was more like unique entertainment that didn't change the rules of the game. Like they had a break dancing first base coach and stuff like that. Then around 2021 and 2022 they would do an entertainment series preseason with Indyball guys and then those guys would play their regular season and the Bananas would play college summer ball in the Coastal Plains League. Past that they haven't played real baseball and now all the Entertainment ball promotions are trying to out gymick each other. In some respects they could go pretty far with it. It became more of a strip show with several juiced out guys. It it more of a Bachelorette party for single moms with 5 year old kids.
Haha, that last part is pretty much spot on it feels like.
🤣 I laughed at it after I wrote it and sent it to one of the guys who actually lives in Savanah and hates that whole thing.
