Jackson Olson’s over-the-top antics for the Savannah Bananas aren’t just entertaining fans—they’re catching the eye of Hollywood too. The 27-year-old infielder, known for his colorful personality and playful energy on the field, has officially signed with WME for representation in all areas.
The move underscores the growing cultural footprint of the Savannah Bananas, the barnstorming baseball team whose mix of athleticism, comedy, and performance art has earned them comparisons to the Harlem Globetrotters. Just as the Globetrotters turned basketball into a theatrical spectacle, the Bananas have reimagined baseball as a high-energy blend of sport and showmanship.
Olson has become one of the team’s standout performers, delighting fans with choreographed dances, comedic routines, and his willingness to blur the line between athlete and entertainer. His signing with WME signals that his star power could soon stretch far beyond the diamond.
The Bananas’ unique brand of “Banana Ball” has already drawn a wide national audience. Their games have been televised by Disney’s ESPN2 and ESPN+, Warner Bros. Discovery’s TNT Sports, as well as streaming platforms like Roku and Nexstar’s CW Network. With a dedicated fan base that continues to swell, the team’s combination of viral antics and serious talent is becoming a sports entertainment phenomenon.
By teaming up with WME, Olson positions himself not only as a player but as a multi-platform personality, capable of making the leap into broader entertainment ventures. It’s the latest sign that the Savannah Bananas are no longer just a quirky baseball team—they’re a pop culture force.
