While the auction world is captivated by the $6.24 million sale of a banana, one baseball team you might know of is taking advantage.
The Savannah Bananas, famous for their "Banana Ball" style of play, which they call "the greatest show in sports," have sold out of their limited-edition Bananas Duct Tape T-Shirt.
After the famous duct tape banana sold in auction for $6.24 million dollars yesterday, we are offering the Savannah Bananas Limited Edition Duct Tape Banana Shirt for $62.40. Only 62 available of this collectors item and this will never be available again.

After Justin Sun, founder of Tron, purchased Maurizio Cattelan's "Comedian" sculpture at Sotheby's on Wednesday night, the Bananas found a way to capitalize on the sale.
The team created 62 T-shirts with Duct tape covering their own banana logo for $62.40 each.
The Bananas announced the sale on their social media pages at 12:04 pm ET on Thursday, and the shirts sold out within five minutes.
The item description claims these shirts "will never be available again."
But they will almost certainly be available on the secondary market. One has already been listed on eBay with an asking price of $650.
The Bananas did not immediately respond to comment from cllct.
