Just In: 8-Time All-Star & Texas Rangers Hall of Famer Set for Surprise Appearance at Savannah Bananas Game This Saturday at Daikin Park, Houston
Houston baseball fans, prepare for an extraordinary weekend as legendary pitcher *Nolan Ryan* — 8-time MLB All-Star and Hall of Famer best known for his time with the Texas Rangers — is confirmed to make a surprise appearance at the *Savannah Bananas* game this Saturday, September 27, 2025, at *Daikin Park* in Houston, Texas.
Ryan’s presence is already creating a buzz across Houston and the wider baseball community. Known as the “Ryan Express,” Nolan Ryan’s remarkable career spanned over 27 seasons, during which he dazzled fans with his blazing fastball, unparalleled strikeout record, and incredible durability. Though he pitched for several teams, including the California Angels and Houston Astros, it was with the Texas Rangers that he cemented his Hall of Fame legacy — officially inducted in 1999 wearing the Rangers cap.
This Saturday’s game promises to be a historic event as Nolan Ryan joins the Savannah Bananas, the wildly popular team known for their entertaining and unconventional style of “Banana Ball.” The Bananas have taken baseball by storm with their blend of high-energy play, fan engagement, and theatrical antics, making them one of the most talked-about teams in America.
Fans attending the game at Daikin Park can look forward to more than just baseball. Nolan Ryan is slated to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and participate in special fan events throughout the evening. This marks a rare opportunity to see a true MLB legend in action once again and to hear firsthand stories from one of baseball’s most iconic figures.
“I’m excited to return to Houston and share the field with the Savannah Bananas,” Ryan said in a statement. “Baseball has always been about passion and connecting with fans, and this event brings that spirit alive.”
The Savannah Bananas’ 2025 Banana Ball World Tour has already seen record crowds across the country, but adding Nolan Ryan to the Houston stop is expected to elevate the excitement to a whole new level. The team’s unique rules and high-energy antics combined with the presence of a baseball legend promise a night full of unforgettable moments.
Tickets for the game are selling quickly, with fans eager to experience the unique combination of fast-paced baseball entertainment and a rare chance to see Nolan Ryan in person. Whether you’re a longtime fan who remembers Ryan’s blazing fastballs or a new baseball enthusiast drawn to the Bananas’ infectious energy, this event is a must-see.
