CONGRATULATIONS: Jesse Cole and Wife Emily Celebrate 10 Years of Marriage with a Grand Giveaway for Banana Ball Fans!
**SAVANNAH, GA –** In a heartwarming celebration of love, baseball, and community spirit, Jesse Cole — the energetic founder of the Savannah Bananas and pioneer of the fast-growing sport of Banana Ball — marked his 10-year wedding anniversary with wife Emily Cole in unforgettable fashion.
The beloved couple, known not only for their vibrant personalities but also for their shared dedication to creating joy through the game of baseball, announced a special giveaway during Saturday night’s sold-out Banana Ball game at Grayson Stadium.
“Today isn’t just about us,” Jesse Cole declared from the mound, clad in his signature yellow tuxedo and top hat, “It’s about everyone who’s been a part of our journey — on and off the field. Emily and I are beyond grateful, and we want to give back in true Banana style!”
**The Big Surprise: A Thousand Smiles**
In classic Cole fashion, the announcement came mid-game, surrounded by dancing umpires, kilts-wearing infielders, and the roaring cheers of fans. Jesse revealed that the first **1,000 Banana Ball fans** to register on the team’s official app or website would receive:
* **Free tickets** to a 2026 Banana Ball tour game in a city of their choice
* An exclusive **”Cole & Cole Anniversary” limited-edition jersey**
* A signed copy of Jesse Cole’s upcoming book: *”Banana Love: How Baseball, Marriage, and Going Bananas Changed Our Lives”*
Fans erupted into applause as golden bananas rained down from the stands and the Bananas’ mascot, Split, breakdanced at home plate.
**A Decade of Love and Bananas**
Jesse and Emily’s story is deeply intertwined with the Bananas’ rise to fame. From their early days building the team in 2016, to selling out every home game season after season, the couple has stood side-by-side — often in costume — leading what has become one of the most innovative and entertaining teams in all of sports.
“We’ve built this life together,” Emily said, smiling beside Jesse during the on-field celebration. “From empty stadiums and doubt to packed ballparks and nationwide tours — we’ve done it all hand in hand. This giveaway is a celebration of our fans, who have become our extended family.”
**From Savannah to the World**
Banana Ball has taken the country by storm, known for its no-nonsense, all-fun approach to baseball — complete with trick plays, TikTok dances, and an unwavering commitment to fan engagement. The Coles have become the heartbeat of this movement.
This surprise giveaway is just another example of how they’re changing the game — literally and figuratively.
**What’s Next for the Coles?**
In addition to the giveaway, Jesse hinted at a special “Banana Vow Renewal” event planned for next season’s opening game. “Why not get married again — in front of 5,000 of our closest fans?” he joked.
For now, though, Jesse and Emily are focused on celebrating love, laughter, and the community they’ve helped build.
Congratulations to Jesse and Emily Cole on 10 incredible years — here’s to many more bananas, both in marriage and in the ballpark!
