The Indianapolis Clowns

The Indianapolis Clowns began as a Negro Leagues team in the 1930’s, growing into one of the most iconic barnstorming teams in baseball history. They traveled the country entertaining crowds, breaking barriers, and showcasing incredible talent before the franchise disappeared in 1989.

In 2026, the Clowns returned as the sixth team in the Banana Ball Championship League. This isn’t just another Banana Ball team, it’s a chance to step back in time. From the vintage atmosphere and classic entertainment to the music, dancing, and fan interaction, an Indianapolis Clowns game captures the spirit of the original barnstorming era while adding the nonstop energy of Banana Ball.

Today, the Indianapolis Clowns honor the legends who paved the way by celebrating their legacy every night. It’s where history meets entertainment, and every game is a tribute to the pioneers fo the Negro Leagues…with plenty of boogie along the way.
