From his choreography on the field to twerk slides to home base, Savannah Bananas player Ty Jackson has quickly become a fan favorite.The exhibition baseball team is known for mixing sports and entertainment. Its motto is “fans first.” That philosophy allows Jackson, a Florida A&M alum, to simply be himself.“They want you to do over-the-top stuff. They say whatever is normal, do the opposite,” he said. “I remember I was trying to get recruited out of high school and I wore earrings to this tryout, and the coach is like, ‘Hey, we don’t like colored hair. We don’t like earrings.’ And I’m like, ‘But this is who I am.’ … I’m going to be me, and I’m going to be fly.”
