A Home Run for Love: Savannah Bananas’ Dakota “Stilts” Proposes on One Knee
In what can only be described as a moment worthy of the highlight reel, **Dakota “Stilts” Albritton**—the Savannah Bananas’ towering star—just got down on one knee to propose to his longtime girlfriend. The spectacle unfolded mere minutes ago, sending fans and social media into a frenzy as his unique flair for drama extended beyond the diamond.
Albritton, who has captivated baseball fans across the country with his performances *on stilts* (yes, stilts) — standing at a staggering estimated height of 10 feet 9 inches when mounted — brought his trademark theatricality to matters of the heart tonight. His girlfriend, who’s been by his side through the peaks and valleys of life on the road, appeared genuinely stunned as the moment played out.
While full details of the proposal—such as their exact location or whether teammates joined in—are still emerging, the images and reactions are pouring in fast. Clips reportedly show Dakota pausing, reaching down despite his vertiginous height, pulling out a ring, and asking the big question. Those nearby erupted in cheers as his partner’s face registered surprise and joy.
The romantic gesture is especially fitting for a player whose life is built on embracing the extraordinary. Albritton first caught public attention when he debuted with the Bananas as a man on stilts, bringing showmanship and heart to “Banana Ball”—a fast‑paced, entertainment‑driven twist on baseball.
Tonight, the spotlight shifts from home runs and dance routines to perhaps the biggest play of all: a lifetime commitment. Whatever her answer, Dakota “Stilts” Albritton has delivered a moment that won’t be forgotten.
