who are the new banana ball teams

The new Banana Ball teams announced for the 2026 season are the Loco Beach Coconuts and the Indianapolis Clowns. These two teams will join the existing four teams: the Savannah Bananas, Party Animals, Texas Tailgaters, and Firefighters. The league will have six teams competing in the inaugural Banana Ball Championship League season in 2026. The Loco Beach Coconuts, coached by Mark Crocco with Shane Victorino as primetime coach, will bring a beach theme and national tour presence. The Indianapolis Clowns, coached by Errick Fox with Ryan Howard as primetime coach, are a revival of the historic Negro League team, partnering with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum to preserve the legacy and style of barnstorming baseball.
