Travis Hunter headlines Savannah Bananas' latest game with a cameo performance
Travis Hunter headlines Savannah Bananas' latest game with a cameo performance
The Savannah Bananas, a barnstorming baseball team, has overtaken the exhibition baseball world over the past few years. They consistently attract notable celebrities to their games to entertain the fans. On Friday, the Bananas brought a recent Colorado football celebrity to their game, much to the crowd's approval.
That guest was none other than Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. The projected top-10 pick in the upcoming NFL draft threw out the first pitch for the Bananas, which counted, unlike typical ceremonial first pitches in baseball.
For obvious reasons, Hunter did not play in the game, but once the Bananas scored their first run, Hunter came out and put on a show. He came out dancing to none other than Deion Sanders' theme music, "Halftime" by the Ying Yang Twins, and even performed his Heisman pose and a backflip.
Hunter made quite the appearance, his personality oozing through, as it seemingly always does when performing. The cameo was just another stop for Hunter throughout his pre-draft process as he gears up for individual team visits with interested NFL organizations.
Hunter's Heisman Trophy-winning season was unprecedented as he racked up 96 receptions, 1,258 yards, 15 touchdowns, 36 tackles, four interceptions and 11 pass deflections.
The Colorado and now Savannah Bananas star will find out his NFL home in under two weeks when the NFL draft takes place April 24-26.

Dating apps might be messing with your mental health
Jenny O'Hara initially signed on to a dating app to bump up her confidence. Fresh out of a 20-year marriage, the Neptune Township, New Jersey, resident didn't believe a man would ever find her attractive again. A friend suggested she try dating online, so she created a profile on Facebook. 'I was looking for people to tell me: 'You're okay. Even though you just got divorced, you're still marketable,'' she said, adding that she did get attention from men online. 'And that made me feel better — not for a long time, but it made me feel better for a little bit of time.'
