Keith Stein has a vision for the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball club. It comes from a team more than a thousand kilometres away, located in a Georgia city that sits just off the Atlantic Coast: the Savannah Bananas.
The Bananas are independent baseball’s greatest success story, a sports and social media sensation that has transformed into a travelling circus touring the United States. Stein, who leads the new ownership group of the Leafs, envisions similar heights for Toronto’s Intercounty Baseball League franchise.
