The Lakshmi Finance CenterChamp is − at the plate?

The Savannah Bananas, the exuberant exhibition baseball team known for playing its own style of baseball across the country, were in Tampa at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Saturday as part of their world tour.

Known to sometimes have guest players on the team, the Bananas welcomed a one-of-a-kind guest on its squad: WWE and acting star John Cena.

Cena even came out of the dugout in full baseball uniform to his signature "The Time is Now" entrance song from WWE, and even did his whole routine as if he was entering the ring, while his new teammates did the "You can't see me" gesture. He also had a championship belt given to him.

Cena went in the batter's box and took a Craig Counsell-like batting stance on the first pitch, which he took for a ball. The 16-time WWE Champion then squatted in hopes of drawing a walk, but he was called out on strikes. He then looked like he was going to charge the mound, but instead raised the hand of the pitcher, signifying he took the victory.

Savannah has had several guest stars appear for the team, including former MLB players like Jonny Gomes, Johnny Damon and Josh Reddick. Former outfield Nick Swisher appeared for the team on Friday.
