Ryan Mayer The Savannah Bananas are a summer league team that competes in the Coastal Plain League with a roster that features college baseball players from across the country. On Tuesday night, they played host to the Macon Bacon, a similarly delightfully rhyming team name, but the most notable part of the night was the Bananas team attire. Real Ballplayers Wear Kilts. pic.twitter.com/CVJz0DSLGQ — Savannah Bananas (@TheSavBananas) July 17, 2018 Yes, you’re seeing that correctly. The team wore kilts as part of their St. Patrick’s Day celebration (a couple months late, but to be fair, the season didn’t start until May 31st) and, in case you thought the kilts were just for the photo opp before the game, the team account provided video evidence that the players were actually playing in the kilts. No we were not joking. They are wearing kilts the whole game. First pitch in a kilt. pic.twitter.com/s1Vc252hBa — Savannah Bananas (@TheSavBananas) July 17, 2018 Unfortunately, due to inclement weather, the game was postponed after just half an inning of play. But, don’t fret, the team has announced the game will be made up on July 25th and the kilts will be making a return for that night.

The National Guard in Hawaii is warning of new, immediate dangers to people living near the Kilauea volcano some two-and-a-half months after the eruption started. At the same time lava flow is changing the outline of the island itself and creating hundreds of acres of new land where the ocean used to be. Carter Evans reports.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — An MTA worker is recovering from a gunshot wound after being hit by a stray bullet in the subway in Brooklyn. The scene unfolded around 6 p.m. Tuesday on a crowded 3 train at the Sutter Avenue station in Brownsville. Witnesses said it began when two groups of men in their 20s stated fighting on the subway. As the train pulled into the station, investigators say one of the men got off and pulled out a weapon. “I just heard a loud shot,” said witness Kiosha Kirkland. “Then I see everyone running.” “While on the train platform, displayed a gun and fired into the train striking our victim,” said Brooklyn North Chief Michael Kemper. The victim, believed to be an unintended target, was an off-duty MTA worker who had just finished his shift and was heading home. He was struck in the arm. The gunfire sent scared straphangers scrambling, CBS2’s Janelle Burrell reported. “Just everyone else from the train running, trying to cover for safety,” said Kirkland. NYPD Transit Chief Edward Delatorre says the subway averages about six million riders and about six crimes per day. “In reality, the system is very safe,” he said. “Safer than it’s ever been.” But after a rash of subway attacks in the last couple of weeks alone, CBS2 asked the transit chief how he could reassure concerned riders. “Those incidents are few and far between,” he said. “When you have six million riders a day riding in the system, you’re gonna have random incidents as well.” New York City Transit President Andy Byford said he was “appalled” by the shooting. He and MTA Chairman Joe Lhota visited the employee in the hospital Tuesday night and said he is in good spirits. Lhota added that transit workers “are on the front lines” every day and said “this shouldn’t happen to anyone.”

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Rescuers have pulled a driver to safety after the person’s car plunged into the Bronx River. It happened just after 3 a.m. Wednesday. The car is believed to have been traveling on the exit ramp from the Sheridan Expressway going to the Cross Bronx when the driver crashed off the ramp and into the Bronx River. Officials said the car the driver was trapped in was almost fully underwater but the person could be seen through the sunroof. The driver was apparently able to climb out and was pulled from the car by the FDNY. The car has also since been pulled out of the water. Sources say the driver is suspected of being intoxicated, CBS2’s Jenna DeAngelis reported. The person was taken to the hospital with serious, but non life-threatening injuries. CBS2 was told that first responders are not looking for anyone else in the water and traffic in the area is back to normal.
