Springfield family selected as ‘Bananas Foster’ family The Garner family from Springfield went “bananas” after being selected to be a Bananas Foster family, or Very Important Bananas for the July 7 Savannah Bananas game. The family was treated to early admission, a tour of the stadium, and a meet-and-greet with Banana players. Pictured from left –acting silly -- are: Hadleigh, age 8; Fen, age 4 (in front); Kristy (mom), Travis, age 15; Jamey (dad), and Lucas, age 13. (Photos by Barbara Augsdorfer/Effingham Herald.)
