How the f**k did Jesse Cole create a baseball team that goes against all traditional baseball rules? Today we’re talking with Jesse about his transition from sleeping on an air mattress and selling only two tickets when first starting his own baseball team to gaining almost 30K followers on Instagram. Jesse is a graduate of Wofford College. After leaving school Jesse became General Manager and Managing Partner of the collegiate summer league team, the Gastonia Grizzlies. In 2015 Jesse became the owner of another collegiate summer league team, the Savannah Bananas. He ran both teams until 2018. Today, Jesse continues to be at the helm for the Bananas. He works as the founder of Fans First Entertainment, and he’s also the author of a book, Find Your Yellow Tux. So where in the world did he find a yellow tuxedo?
